State income taxes paid in 2022 can be entered on a federal tax return as an itemized deduction.  You cannot deduct any penalties or interest for the taxes owed and paid.

 

To enter state income taxes paid -

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Deductions and Credits
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
On Other Income Taxes, click on the start or update button


On the next screen scroll down to Other Income Taxes Paid in 2022


Or enter state taxes paid in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to state taxes paid
