I have two w2's from same company, due to change in payroll processing vendor. they have considered only one w2, other one they considered as error.

did that make you go over the social security limit?

That notice number just means they will not direct deposit your amount but will send out a check. If you think that having two W-2's is the error you should contact them to straighten it out. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.ftb.ca.gov/aboutFTB/contact.shtml">https://www.ftb.ca.gov/aboutFTB/contact.shtml</a>
 Unless it made you go over the social security withholding limit that should not have created a problem.

I've had 2 clients with this situation this year.  You need to write a simple letter (include your name, SSNs and the notice number on that letter), stating that you disagree with their findings.  Send that, with the notice and copies of both W-2's and fax it to the number shown on the notice.

FTB is attempting to match up W-2 withholding shown on the tax return with the quarterly EDD reporting he employer does....I think 4th quarter reports haven't all been recorded yet through EDD so the annual total isn't showing in the FTB records,  causing a mismatch.

Thanks Lisa, as suggested will write letter and attach required documents.

I have been told recently that by calling the phone number in the notice, you may be able to clear it up quicker...if you can get through to someone at the number they give you.

I posted the info below on an other similar question. I used the chat feature it worked like a charm for me.

I did not have an account on their web site, so I had to wait about 5 days to get a PIN (via USPS mail) to complete my account, before I could go further. Once I confirmed the account with the PIN I was able to use the chat, during business hours only.

After a 20min waiting time, I was connected to an operator. After few verifications, the operator asked if I was in position to upload my W2s within the next 5min. I did the upload, the operator checked the numbers and cleared my account.

Good luck!
