Box 14 of my 2017 W2 shows "$1212.4" CA VPDI. When I was trying to efile both federal and state tax, it showed that the maximum SDI/VPDI withheld for 2017 is $998.12. It did not allow me to do the efiling. Since $1212.4 is what shown in the W2 box 14, what do i need to do in order to file the tax? thank you!

How do I get a refund of excess SDI?

The maximum SDI withholding tax for 2017 is $998.19 ($110,902 x .90%).

You may be entitled to claim a credit for excess SDI (or VPDI) only if you meet all of the following conditions:

  • You had two or more employers during 2017.
  • You received more than $110,902 in wages.
  • The amounts of SDI (or VPDI) withheld appear on your Forms W-2.

You may claim the excess SDI or (VPDI), Form 540, or Long Form 540NR. You cannot claim the excess SDI (or VPDI) on Form 540 2EZ or Short Form 540NR. If you normally file Form 540 2EZ and are eligible to claim excess SDI (or VPDI) you should switch to Form 540 to claim the credit. Short Form 540NR filers must use Long Form 540NR to claim the credit.

If you ONLY had one employer then you must just enter the max 998 in the program and get the excess withheld from the employer.

My question is not about to get credit back for excess CA VPDI. It is about how I can do efiling with current W2 Box 14 shows $1212.4. Turbtax won't allow me to efile federal and state return until i fixed box 14. But the current w2 box 14 do show 1212.4. how can i do to efile the tax?
