The Ohio school district income tax is a state tax.

 

Your state estimated tax payments will serve as a credit your state tax liability and have to be entered on your tax return.

 

You enter your state estimated tax payments in the Federal section and they will flow through to your state return.

 

You can enter the state estimated taxes you paid by following these steps:

 

  1. In TurboTax, open your tax return
  2. Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then Deductions & Credits 
  3. Locate the section named Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and click on the arrow on the right 
  4. Click on Start next to Estimated Tax Payments
  5. On the next page, click Start next to State estimated taxes for 2023.

Thanks for the info.  Where will this entry show up in the State Return?  The only way I seem to avoid the state return calculating a penalty for the 2023 local school tax is by entering the total estimated payments I made in 2023 in the 2022 School District Carryover.

The state's estimated taxes will flow to your state return.

 

You can only use the 2022 carryover as your 2023 estimated state tax only if you asked for it on your 2022 tax return.
