Deductions & credits
What is your question about deducting medical expenses on your New Jersey tax return? This is a message forum, not live chat. You have to post all the details of your question and wait for someone to respond.
On your New Jersey tax return you can deduct medical expenses in excess of 2% of your New Jersey gross income. If you entered any medical expenses in the federal interview, they will flow to your New Jersey tax return, even if you don't use itemized deductions on your federal tax return. The TurboTax interview for New Jersey will ask you if you have medical expenses that you did not enter in the federal interview, or if you want to review the medical expenses that flowed from the federal return. Enter the full amount you paid that was not reimbursed by insurance. TurboTax will subtract 2% of your New Jersey gross income.
