Now what about at the state level - as in my case NY and CA both allow pre-tax deductions for domestic partners? Would the employee's state income be different than the Federal (assuming the money could be deducted pretax for the partner)?

Probably. You will have to look at your check stubs and W-2. Also, if the premiums for the DP are pre-tax on the state level, you can't use them as medical expense deductions for the state, even though they are deductible on the federal return. This will be a problem, because in Turbotax you only enter your itemized deductions once, in the federal module, and they automatically flow to the state module. You will have to investigate yourself whether there is a state-specific adjustment in the state module, or you may have to manually override the state medical insurance deduction (assuming you are claiming itemized deductions on your state return.)
