State tax filing

It depends on whether you paid your NJ medical insurance premiums with pre-tax or after-tax money.

 

If you paid with pre-tax money (more common), your medical insurance premiums would be deducted from your taxable income on your W-2 so you would not be able to take a deduction.

 

If you are not sure, contact HR or your payroll department.

 

If you paid with after-tax money and did not include those payments in Medical in Deductions & Credits, enter those premiums on the "Medical Expenses" screen in the New Jersey section. 

 

TurboTax automatically transfers any medical expenses you listed in Deductions & Credits to New Jersey whether you itemize your deductions or not, so don’t double-enter.
