WI taxes only your WI income. PERHAPS. BUT LOOK AT HOW THEY DO THAT. THEY TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION HOW MUCH YOUR FEDERAL INCOME IS THAT CARRIES OVER TO YOUR WISCONSIN 1NPR FORM. THAT IS WHERE YOU MUST GET IT REDUCED. I am not asking how to add it to my Wisconsin form as a Wisconsin itemized deduction credit. You know, Turbo Tax should automatically direct you through these screens when it sees you have other states that allow this. Turbo Tax expects that you know you can do that, because who would bother to fill out a Schedule A if you don't have enough to itemize. How is one supposed to know that WI, as non-resident, will take what is on Schedule A, and apply it to the WI taxes if WI allows is. Like in this case, it will reduce the amount of Federal Income that WI looks at when calculating my WI taxes.
Wisconsin uses your federal income to determine the WI tax percentage. Thus, you can deduct the Long Term Care Premium amount from the federal income that is used in the WI calculation for your WI taxes. Thus, somewhere you can indeed deduct the Long Term Care Premium. You can also deduct your medical expenses from that federal income amount.
Anyway I found the answer. Go to Help, type in Schedule A, go to Jump to, go thru all the questions and eventually you will get to the screen asking you to enter your Long Term Care Premiums and also your medical expenses. You just have to ignore the part when it asks you if have medical expenses greater than some ridiculous $xx,xxx amount.
