2025 NJ State Taxes Medical Expenses - Not populating amount on line 31 Medical Expenses (See Worksheet F and instructions)

[bkgrant10]

I entered $500 of medical expenses in TurboTax (which is more than 2% of my AGI), and I can see the amount listed on Worksheet F. However, it isn’t flowing to Line 31 on the NJ‑1040. I’ve tried multiple times, including restarting the return, but the value still doesn’t populate. Is this a software issue, or is there something I’m missing? Any help would be appreciated.

You didn't say whether you are using TurboTax Online or the TurboTax Desktop software. I'm going to assume that you are using the TurboTax Desktop software in Windows. If that's not correct, post the correct information.

Make sure your desktop software is updated. On the Online menu click "Check for Updates."

Make sure you do not have an override on NJ-1040 line 31. When you look at Form NJ-1040 in forms mode, the space for the amount on line 31 should be white. If it's yellow, right-click the space for the amount. If Cancel Override is one of the choices on the pop-up menu, click on that and see if the amount appears.

Where do you see the amount on Worksheet F? NJ-1040 line 31 comes from line 6 of Worksheet F.

Hello Champ,

I'm using TT Desktop software in Windows, line 31 on the NJ-1040 in "Form" mode is white and is displaying blank, Worksheet F line 6 is displaying $500 and my software is up-to-date.

Sorry, but I'm mystified. Here are a couple of long-shot things to try. If none of these work, call TurboTax support.

Even though NJ-1040 line 31 is white, right-click it and see if Cancel Override appears in the pop-up menu. If so, click it.

If you entered medical expenses in the federal interview, open Worksheet F in forms mode and delete it. (Click Delete Form at the bottom of the window.) It will immediately be recreated, but see if that solves the problem.

If you entered medical expenses in the New Jersey interview, go back to the Medical Expenses screen in the New Jersey interview and delete the amount you entered. Then go back to the Medical Expenses screen again and re-enter the amount. See if that solves the problem.
