    State income taxes paid are reported on Schedule A as an itemized deduction.

     

    The total of all your itemized deductions on Schedule A must be greater than the standard deduction for your filing status to have any tax benefit.

     

    Standard deductions for 2024

    Single - $14,600 add $1,850 if age 65 or older
    Married Filing Separately - $14,600 add $1,550 if age 65 or older
    Married Filing Jointly - $29,200 add $1,550 for each spouse age 65 or older
    Head of Household - $21,900 add $1,950 if age 65 or older
