CA paid family leave - paid state tax for one year

[archanapb]

Hi, we paid federal tax for CA paid family leave for years 2021 and 2022. We also paid CA state tax for the same for 2021 only. Are we due for a refund? If yes, how do we go about it?

The CA Paid Family Leave has always been taxable on the federal level, so there is no need to amend your federal returns. However, whether or not it was taxable in California depends on where the money came from. Please read the following carefully: "What do I need to know about California Paid Family Leave?"?

If you determine that your Paid Family Leave was not taxable because of its source, then you could amend your 2021 CA return. Please see "How do I amend my state return?"
