⚠️ What This Means
The W2 does not have 'CA' listed as the taxpayer's Home/Resident State.
đź“Š Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Confirm the taxpayer’s Home/Resident State
Use this when you need to ensure the W2 includes the correct state information.
Verify that the taxpayer’s Home/Resident State is set to CA so the W2 includes 'CA' as required.
Step 2: Re-run e-file validation
Use this after updating state information to confirm the error is resolved.
After correcting the Home/Resident State, run the e-file validation again to check whether CA 3514 is cleared.
❌ Troubleshooting
If the validation error persists, double-check that the W2 is correctly reflecting CA for the taxpayer’s Home/Resident State.
