More detail is needed.

You enter most medical information in Federal and it then transfers information to State.

Is it Federal or State data that is not aligning with your entries?

Is it W2 information or your entered medical deductions, or .... 

Without giving private information, you need to clarify your issue.

It may be because the Smart Check adjusts the difference between the posting of the expenses and the ultimate deduction.

  • You can only deduct the amount of your medical and dental expenses that is more than 7.5% of your AGI.
  • Medical expenses Limit

I am all set.  I didn't expect that medical insurance premiums would be included in the sum.
