Question

The Iowa tax return allows for a deduction of federal taxes paid. How do I enter federal taxes paid for a prior year on line 18 of the Iowa return?

what if i am not using Turbo tax online. There is no "Prior Year Federal Tax" screen. There is a "Enter Your federal Tax Info" but that page incorporates the federal refund from the federal return information, and then lists a variety of federal income tax credits, none of which allow for entry of federal taxes paid in 2023 for a prior year.
