I know about the deduction, but when you put the figures on fed Sch A , health ins and long term ins in the applicable lines, the LT goes onto the MO worksheet along with the health ins, which if you don't take out, gets deducted twice. Once with the health ins deduction on line 4 and then again on line 17. The software automaticallly puts LT on that line, too. I've taken out long term so it doesn't add to the subtraction on line 4. Is that correct?
