How is the amount of "PFL Income Received From Insurance Company" calculated?

[themarshal99]

This is showing up in my California return and is like 8x what I'm seeing in my 1099-G forms.

If you have a 1099-G then that is entered in the federal return like unemployment income and will be automatically excluded from your Calif income.

If you are seeing a screen in TT/Calif asking for an adjustment to your W-2 wages for "PFL" then you inadvertently indicated on an entry of a W-2 in the federal return that some or all of the W-2 wages were for paid family leave. You should go back and edit that W-2 and remove the checkbox for PFL. That will tell TT/Calif not to ask you to enter the amount of PFL income included in the W-2 because there is none.

I didn't indicate anywhere when filling out my W-2 that some or all the wages were for PFL. So I don't know why it's asking me the same. It populated the same amount of wages in box 1 from W-2 into this box.

If you didn't receive any PFL, and your W-2 does not include any PFL, then you may need to manually enter the W-2.

You will have to delete the W-2 that was imported. Here are instructions in how to do that: 

Here's the general procedure for viewing the forms list and deleting unwanted forms, schedules, and worksheets in TurboTax Online:

1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
2. In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools.
3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
4. Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet in the list and follow the instructions.

Tips and tricks

• Need to remove a business that transferred over from last year? Find out how to properly remove it.
• To delete a form that came in the mail (for example, W-2, 1098, or 1099) it's best to do it from that form's summary screen. Search for the form number (for example, W-2) and select the Jump to link in the search results to get to the summary screen.
• You can't delete Form 1040. That would be like yanking the foundation out from under a building. If you want to get rid of the information you've entered, you can clear your return.

Now you can go back to the Federal return and input the W-2 manually, making sure that the PFL isn't checked off on the screen that follows the W-2 entry screen. The proceed to the state return and make sure that it is gone.

How do I find what my employer payed me for PFL?

Your best bet would be to contact your employer directly.
