The state of Iowa recalculated my return and indicated my health insurance was not deductible. Is turbotax correct or the state of Iowa?

They also added my federal return as income and turbo tax did not.

Depends on the type of health insurance deduction you are taking.  The premiums have to be paid with after-tax dollars for the Iowa health insurance adjustment.  So if your premiums are paid by your employer with pretax dollars, there is no deduction.  Additionally, if you received a premium tax credit and included the gross premiums in a previous year,  the amount of the 2020 premium tax credit would need to be included in other income. Here is a link for information on the Iowa Health insurance deduction.

 

If you received a Federal tax refund in 2020 for the 2019 tax year, you would need to add that to income on line 27 of the Iowa 1040.  You are entitled to a deduction for Federal taxes paid on line 31.  This would include your Federal withholding for 2020 plus any additional federal tax payments.
