CASDI

[randy3185]

I live in WA. In Box 14 I have CASDI tax but the online program is using it as a WA tax. How do I put that CASDI into the proper line item?

Verify you selected CA SDI from the box 14 dropdown menu when you entered the W2 in the federal interview.  That should use it as an itemized deduction in the state/local taxes paid Schedule A, line 5a.

Thanks and I would agree if I was a resident of CA but I’m not. I am a resident of WA and believe this item belongs on Schedule A line 6. I have verified that CA SDI is selected on the dropdown menu for box 14 in the W-2 window.

The IRS Schedule A Instructions say to put the CASDI on Line 5a (see State and Local Income Taxes:(

If you don't elect to deduct general sales taxes, include on line 5a the state and local income taxes such as mandatory contributions you made to the California, New Jersey, or New York Nonoccupational Disability Benefit Fund, Rhode Island Temporary Disability Benefit Fund, or Washington State Supplemental Workmen's Compensation Fund. @randy3185
