State and local tax withheld on your W-2 or 1099 will flow automatically to Schedule A. Other state and local taxes paid during 2025, such as quarterly state estimated tax payments paid in 2025 or state taxes paid when you filed your 2024 state tax return in 2025, should be entered on the Deductible Taxes Paid screen.
State and local income taxes are deductible on Schedule A as itemized deductions for the year the taxes are paid.
EXAMPLE: On April 15, 2025, you send a check for $1,500 to the state of Oregon for the balance due on your 2024 Oregon tax return. The $1,500 is deducted on your 2025 tax return.
