Question

I cannot e-file due to a W2 Box 14 issue. Turbo Tax says I entered CA SDI and/or VPDI > $1539.58 but I didn't - I entered SDI $247.70 and VPDI $1330.20. Help?

Double check your W-2 Box 14 entries. You should have two rows—one for California SDI tax and another for California VPDI tax.

Also make sure you have two different Box 14 Category codes.

To get back to your W-2:

Type W-2 in Search in the top right
Select Jump to W-2
Edit your W-2

and those two entries do indeed add up to more than the maximum allowed.

Hi ,

I am facing the same issue . There are 2 entries in my W2's 14 column :

CASDI 1539.58 CA VDI 18.95 , which is > $1539.58 in combine. Turbo tax is not letting me do e-filing of the taxes. Can TT fix this bug in their platform please ? Or any other recommendation to go over this ?

Thanks .

This will not affect your return. TurboTax is just alerting you that your SDI (California state disability insurance tax withheld and VPDI is voluntary plan disability insurance tax withheld) is more than the maximum amount allowed. The maximum that should have been withheld is $1,539.58. You need to reduce the amount entered on your W-2 to comply with the $1,539.58 total. Talk to your employer if you want to have the excess refunded to you.

None of these solutions are working to allow me to file CA taxes electronically. It keeps coming to this same error and will not allow me to file (which I've already paid for)!!

I am filing jointly and no matter what amount I enter (based on what I think is correct) it will not accept it.

PLEASE ASSIST OR REFUND MY $25.00 FOR ELETRONIC FILE.

I'm sorry. That is absolutely incorrect. When I went back into the program yesterday, it prompted me to 'pay again'!!! Only when I attempted to file did it ask for payment!!

Again no matter what amount I out into that box, it will not accept it. I've been in CA all of my life and used TurboTax for the last 10 years...never ran into this issue.

Back of the program box...Include 1 State via download (print free or e-file for an additional fee). If your program isn't allowing me to e-fila (after I've already paid), you need to refund my $25.00.

In order to receive a refund, please contact us by clicking here. Please specify a product refund to get you to the correct department. @dg0489
