@jdevola222 - The medical insurance premiums are not shown on the W-2. They are not included in box 1 on the W-2, but they are not listed anywhere else on the W-2. TurboTax has no way of knowing about amounts that are not included in box 1. There are other things besides medical insurance premiums that can cause a difference between box 1 and box 16, so TurboTax cannot assume that the difference is medical insurance premiums.

TurboTax does not automatically add anything to medical expenses on the NJ tax return. The amount that it initially shows for medical expenses on the NJ return is just the total medical expenses from federal Schedule A.
