How do I enter state or local taxes for my Schedule A itemized deductions?

Menu Path: Deductions/Credits > Itemized Deductions > Taxes Paid

State and local tax withheld on your W-2 or 1099-R will flow automatically to the Schedule A when you choose to take the Itemized Deduction. Other state and local taxes paid during 2025 should be entered on the Deductible Taxes Paid screen.

The IRS limits an individual's state and local tax deduction to a combined total deduction of $40,000 ($20,000 if filing married filing separately), that is subject to an AGI phaseout for higher income taxpayers.
