Client in CA with DOMPT of $9k box 14 of W2. This amt is taxable Healthcare benefit for domestic partner, however is this amt deductible in CA? Where do I deduct it?

Health Insurance = medical expenses

So reported as Income in Box 1, and then it's an itemized deduction on Fed return which will carry over to State?

theoretically, yes. But youd need enough medical expenses to meet the threshold for them to be deductible.
