In wages do I put gross or adjusted gross income since Ipaid into my health insurance and and FSA account

Are you filling out the W2 entries?   Wages would be referring to gross wages, Box 1 of your W2.   If you don't know what your gross wages are and haven't received your W2 yet, you wont get very far.

Don't use you last pay stub.  You have to enter it from the actual W2.  The W2 usually doesn't match your year end paystub.

[Opus 17]

Your box 1 wages will be your pay after pre-tax deductions.  However, this is sometimes unpredictable -- your box 1 amount may be increased by the value of some premium employee benefits that don't show up on your pay stub, like employer-provided life and disability insurance.  Different pre-tax deductions are or aren't subtracted from box 3 and box 5.  Estimating from a pay stub is fine, but don't file without your official W-2.  If your numbers are wrong, your entire refund could be delayed for detailed investigation (new law) and/or you could be required to file a time consuming amended return and owe interest and penalties on unpaid taxes or excess refunds.
