    State and local income taxes are taken directly off of the W-2.

    Real Estate taxes are listed in the Mortgage Interest or Property (Real Estate) section of Deductions and Credits.

    There are other tax payment options under Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

    Still not seeing an appropriate place to enter this "other local tax."

    March 9, 2022

    Enter other local tax at Federal / Deductions & Credits / Estimates and Other Taxes Paid / Income Taxes Paid / Other Income Taxes Paid in 2021 / Payments for 2019 or a prior year state or local income taxes paid in 2021.

     

    The entry is reported on line 5a of Schedule A Itemized Deductions.

    Local per capita taxes are NOT deductible, per the IRS:
