Thank you for sharing such comprehensive details, slgriff. I understand you're dealing with a complex payroll issue regarding your CA SDI contributions and CA income tax reporting on your W-2. Let's work together to resolve this.
In QuickBooks, the state payroll taxes applicable to both you and your employer are determined by where employees live and work. These taxes can include State Withholding, State Unemployment Insurance, local taxes, State Disability Insurance, or Paid Family Leave. Since the W-2C removes your SDI contributions, I recommend discussing with your employer how they are managing these contributions.
For insights into how your employer has set up your payroll preferences in QuickBooks, you can check this article: Set up employees and payroll taxes in a new state.
