I just checked my 2017 IA software.
1) I entered a DD and $999 in box 12 on a W-2 form in the federal section.
2) I went thru the Iowa Questions and error check again, and then checked the 2017 IA 1040. No $$ showed up on line 18. So it doesn't appear that TurboTax enters any $$ as an insurance premium onto line 18 automatically from your W-2 entry of box 12 Code DD and it's $$ (at least not in the most current version of 2017 TTX Fed and IA).

3) That doesn't mean that some other $ entered elsewhere won't show up on line 18 of the IA-1040..... For instance, if you entered any Medical Premiums paid in the Medical Deductions section in the Federal section, then those $$ transfer over to the IA-1040 and are added into line 18 of the IA 1040. (And you may have mistakenly entered, or mis-entered your W-2 code DD values in the Federal Medical deductions area)

4) and...IF you made NO Medical premium entries in the Federal Medical expenses section , if no premium entries are there, only then will the IA interview specifically ask you for your Medical Premiums you paid....but it also tells you not to include any Code DD entries from your W-2 form (picture below) that asks you to put in your medical premiums.
So right now, I can't see that this error was caused by TTX, and would have to have been some error you made yourself when making your premium entries in either the Federal section, or the state section.
Sorry
If it is reported on W-2, it is entered into the tax software. Nothing is done with it --- so there no tax consequences . i.e. it does not increase your tax or increase your refund. Rest Easy
this is the only post I've seen regarding your issue. this usually indicates that you incorrectly entered some information on your return which makes it your fault not TT's . but if you really think It's TT fault, put in a claim.
