Question
W-2 Nonqualified plan (SERP)
2025 Form W-2 has the following:
Box 1 (Wages): $5,236
Box 11 (Nonqualified Plans): $5,236
Box 16 (CA Wages): $2,288
Employee is retired and lived in CA for all of 2025.
The software does not make a CA adjustment to reflect $2,288 as CA Wages. The subtraction line next to Schedule CA line 8t (Pension or annuity from a non qualified deferred compensation plan) is greyed out.
Any suggestions on how to make the CA adjustment to the federal amount? Thank you!
