In the Section titled "Other Withholding Not Already Entered" there is a Federal box for entries.  My FORM SSA-1099 has an entry for "Treasury Benefit Payment Offset, Garnishment and or Tax Levy".  I am paying for back taxes for previous tax years and and $12,000 garnished from my Social Security Disability Income.  Am I entitled to enter the $12,000 in the Federal Box in this section?  The instructions for this section are not very clear.

    No, the payment of income tax, by whatever means paid including garnishment, is not deductible.
