State tax filing

You deduct your Section 125 medical premiums on your NJ return only, because NJ taxes you on them.

Enter the premiums on your NJ return. Medical expenses over 2% of your income are deductible on the NJ return, so most people see a small benefit.

You don't deduct Section 125 medical on your federal return, cause the federal government does not tax you on them.
