Instructions say to include taxes "paid or incurred" in 2019. I'm an S-corp on cash basis. For line 12 do I include state/local taxes incurred for 2019 regardless of when paid (2019/20), or include all taxes actually paid in calendar year 2019, regardless of what year they were incurred (2018/19) ? Or is it both ? Thanks v much for any help.

Yes, you would include 2018 taxes actually paid in 2019 but not payments made in 2020.

Just include taxes actually paid by the S corporation if it is a cash basis taxpayer.

Thanks, yes I know only taxes paid by the S corp. But question is whether to include 2018 taxes actually paid in 2019, eg, all taxes actually paid by the S-corp in 2019 regardless of what year they were for.  If the answer is yes, I presume I should NOT include 2019 estimated payments made in March 2020 ?
