everything is entered exactly as shown on W-2 so I dont know why I keep getting this error here
If you had one W-2, and your CA SDI amount is over $1,229.09, you should get a refund from your employer. However, if the difference is less than .50 cents off, then please adjust the amount to $1,229.09. This should remove the error and allow you to file.
Typically, excess CA SDI is if you had more than 1 employer and all together they took out more than the max of $1,229.09. Then you get the excess back on your California return as a refund on your CA 540, line 74.

Yes, it is above that amount but it still doesn't remove the error message that I am receiving
How much above that amount is in Box 14? If less than .50 cents, did you change the amount to $1,229.09?

I have edited the above posts. The limit is $1,229.09 for 2020. Can you try entering $1,229.08 and see if that clears the error for you?
I tried everything and it goes in an endless loop. My amount is $1,229.09 and I tried changing it to 1,229.08 or even $1,228, Turbotax goes in an endless loop. It's a bug, please fix it or tell me how to surpass this.
I also had a vpdi and when I removed that line item, it finally let me surpass the error message. Does that help for you? And I know what you mean about the endless loop/bug because I was stuck for a while on the Federal portion due to the Turbo bug.
I get exactly the same error message. My W2 has $1229.09 in Box 14 for CA VPDI and yet TurboTax says that I cannot exceed that amount, which I do not.
I have the same error even though my SDI is 1,229.09. I have tried lowering it but get the same error. Has anyone figured out how to get out of this error loop so I can E-File?
I had the same issue. I had multiple line items in box 14 and TurboTax had incorrectly tagged another line as 'CA SDI' so the sum of the correct line (with the $1209.09 amount) and the incorrectly tagged second line was higher than the $1209.09. Once I corrected the tag for the other line I was able to efile without problem. Good luck!
The amount I put in is $1229.09 but I'm still getting this error. Could you please help?
I am getting the same error. Tried lower amounts or deleting the entry but same issue. Intuit team please help quick!
i'm running the same issue, even I get changed the number to 1228, turboTax will come back with 1228. Please let me how to surpass this
I don’t have TurboTax up in front of me, but I was eventually able to fix this problem.
Besides the dollar amount, there are two text fields, one on the left and one one the right if my memory is correct , that TurboTax auto-populated when it read in my W2. One of these two fields is wrong. When I changed it, the error went away. Lowering the dollar amount by a little won’t help.
I did that and i keeps coming back and asking me to fix this.
is there a turbo tax support number. Looks like a software bug to me.
I concur, keep seeing the same error , and i cant file my taxes.
Check your W2 to see if multiple entries in Box 14. Mine have 2, the other is not SDI/VPDI, and I changed that to the correct title, which fix the error and able to proceed further. Good Luck.
same here, I can't break out of this loop. must be a Turbo Tax bug.
Can someone from TurboTax please fix this bug ASAP?!? We went through the hassle of filling out everything, and paid TurboTax fees, and this is clearly a bug on the TurboTax platform that's blocking us from filing the taxes in time.
The workaround of removing the field might fix this, but that'll increase my taxes, plus, that's entering the WRONG information just to get around TurboTax's bug.
FWIW, I'm running into this PROBABLY because I changed job halfway through the year, so they both withheld the maximum amount ($1229.09). CA will return the $ as part of the refund, but turbotax apparently doesn't know how to handle such an obvious issue in its last step verification.
I am having the same SDI Problem!! I have tried N number of times and still see the same ERROR! Turbo Tax is horrible!! These people don't answer. I will think twice before buying this again!!!
I have same two entries. Could you please tell, what did you change? I am having hard times for several hours and despite all R&D the Turbo Tax seems to be going into the loop. NEVER, EVER had such issue and these guys do NOT FIX such BUGS!!!
