Note: The previous information pertains to benefits that would not be taxable on the California return. Please understand, if your employer pays the contributions under a voluntary plan, some or all the benefits may be taxable on the California return. This may be the case if the benefits were reported to you on a Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, rather than a Form 1099-G. Contact your employer for additional information.
