Question

TurboTax shows Other Income Taxes that I did not enter. Where does it get these numbers?

In the "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid" section, I said "No" to all of the questions about Other Income Taxes, but it still shows a non-zero amount. What is this?

It's also just accounting for "other income taxes" you've paid and reported, including elsewhere, on your return. I don't think you can do it online, but in the desktop version, on the main Deductions & Credits topics page, when I hover over (or click) the blue figure in the 2023 column, it shows that possible included items are "Federal withholding", "State withholding", and "other mandatory state taxes" (depends on specific state.) In other words it shows what other taxes you paid during the year, most commonly from your W-2's, but could include tax payments from other forms, too.

I found some other "tax paid" items that can appear there, which were listed in a "learn more" popup in the desktop version. I pasted them in my comment below.

ADDENDUM

In addition to the possible withholding amounts and special state tax in some specific states, that I mentioned above, it can also include the following tax payments a filer may have made during the year. A "learn more" popup lists these things. I pasted them below for completeness, although they may or may not apply to you.

- Taxes you paid with your 2023 federal, state or local extension.

- Taxes you paid with your 2022 state or local extension.

- 2022 federal, state and local tax refunds that you applied to your federal, state or local 2023 taxes owed.

- State and local taxes that were withheld during 2023 but not reported on Form W-2, 1099, W-2G, etc. For example, state and local taxes that were withheld when you completed a real estate transaction.

- Taxes paid with your 2022 state and local returns, including with an extension, amended return, or through an installment plan.

- State and local taxes you paid with your 2022 or prior year return. For example, you were audited or you recently filed a 2021 or prior year state or local return for the first time.

- Other state withholdings during 2023. For example, you had money withheld during escrow on a real estate sale and received a Form 593, Real Estate Withholding Statement.

"Note: Federal, state and local taxes withheld on your W-2, we (TurboTax) automatically take as a deduction when you enter or import your W-2 information."
