W-2 CA SDI reporting
I (well, a trust for which I file the paperwork) is a household employer in California, and will be filing a W-2 for the household employee. Where is CA SDI supposed to be reported on the form.
CA says it's supposed to be under "local taxes", but the filing instructions are contrary to the Federal instructions even if it were considered a "local tax". Other possibilities are on the second State tax line (well, it's an other, state tax, although not precisely an "other state" tax) or in Box 14 (Other information). (Other information).
I'm leaning toward box 14, because that's where my 2000-2001 employers put it, but I don't know whether CA will object.
(And, although I don't consider your replies authoritative, I've already had contradictory advice from tax preparers I do generally trust, so I'll take input from anywhere.)
I would put it under box 14. I don't have a clue about California law, but that's where it would go here in Arkansas, and on the Federal. Box 14 is for information that may impact the return, but doesn't have to do directly with earned income or deductions or taxes.
