My wife received a W2 from her insurer for the payments paid out through her maternity leave. We are filing jointly and checking the box that says "Paid Family Leave" in the screen after filling out the W2 in Federal Taxes.
When preparing state (California) taxes, we are asked to enter the amount of the PFL. What should this amount be? TurboTax is auto-filling the PFL amount with the same amount in box #1 in the specific W2 that she received from the insurer (the same one we checked the box for "Paid Family Leave" for).
The amounts in box #1(Wages, tips, other comp.) and box #16(State wages, tips, etc.) are different. Box #16 is less than box #1.
Box #12a is also filled with an amount equal to 50% of box #1.
Thanks in advance for your help.
