CADVI is on the W-2. Is this CA tax still deductible on Schedule A?

not sure

I do know the state tax is deducible on schedule A, but I'm not sure what CADVI tax is.

Voluntary Disability Insurance

>>Is this CA tax still deductible on Schedule A?<<

Voluntary Disability Insurance replaces State Disability Insurance with a few large corporations who find it cheaper to opt out of the government system. However, it is NOT a tax (because it is not paid to the state) and has never been deductible on Schedule A.

For workers who have several employers, if the total SDI plus VDI exceeds the maximum they can claim a credit for excess SDI on the state return. (This is similar to the way excess Social Security is claimed on the federal return.)
