Budget Report header. The Budget Report header now mentions that child support is included only if this particular case has child support. Similarly, the Budget Report header mentions that spousal support is included only if this particular case has spousal support. Previously, the header mentioned both child support and spousal support if the option to include both in the report was selected, regardless of whether they were present in the case.

For everyone
1. Health insurance. We have taken another pass at the health insurance tax categories to try to make them clear. The tax categories for health insurance now are:
- Pre-tax. This means the health insurance reduces taxable wages for both income tax and FICA purposes. This will apply to a majority of today’s employer-provided health insurance and we select this category by default.
- Pre-tax, FICA-taxable. This means that the health insurance reduces taxable wages for income tax purposes but not for FICA purposes.
- Self-employed. These are health insurance premiums paid by a self-employed individual, or partnership. They are subtracted from income “above the line” for federal income tax purposes, and also for self-employment tax purposes.
- After-tax. These are out-of-pocket payments of health, dental, and vision premiums that are not payroll deductions. These are treated as medical expenses, subject to the 7.5% AGI threshold. This means that they are not deductible for most individuals, either because the taxpayer uses the standard deduction and does not itemize, or because their medical expenses are less than 7.5% of their Adjusted Gross Income, or both.
2. Minimum wage. We updated the minimum wage rates that have changed since our last update. Those include rates in Alaska, D.C., and Oregon.
