Thank you for your quick response. Box 1 is different than Box 16 and so that's how I entered it when completing the return. Is the response to the FTB as simple as showing them the W-2 that was received?

On the notice, California stated the following:

"A review of your return indicates that your Schedule CA is incorrect.

Schedule CA is used only to report adjustments to federal adjusted gross income (AGI) when that income is taxed differently for state and federal purposes. The difference in taxation must arise from differences between state and federal tax law, not from the source of income."
