Can I deduct the Estimated Tax for 1/15/2020 sent to cover Estimated Tax appearing on the 2019 Tax Form? This is an Estimated Payment toward the amount owed for the 2020 Tax.

    No, you deduct State taxes in the year you pay them.  

     

    State estimated tax for 2019 paid on 1/15/2020 would be deductible on your Federal return for 2020.

     

    State estimated tax for 2018 paid on 1/15/2019 would be deductible on your Federal return for 2019.
