If my state wage is higher than federal wage, then software should be able to figure out that my medical premiums are included in state wage?


@ravirocks86  There are a lot of things that can make the NJ state wages higher than federal wages. The software cannot just assume that it's medical insurance. You have to use your pay stubs, a statement attached to your W-2, or other information from your employer to determine how much, if any, is medical insurance premiums. The tax software cannot figure it out from your W-2 because the necessary information simply isn't there.
