Payments to the IRS for 2015 federal income taxes are not deductible on your Tax Return.

However, if you also paid State income taxes for 2015 (or any other tax year) in 2018, you are able to deduct to deduct those payments if you itemize your deductions on Schedule A.

Please comment below if you have additional questions regarding the back taxes paid so that I can assist you further.
