Are state and local taxes still deductible from federal taxes?

[IreneS]

Yes - state and local taxes are still deductible on your return.  However, because of the new tax law, they are limited to $10,000 (the SALT limitation).

10,000 being the ceiling on taxes paid or on income?

[IreneS]

On the taxes paid that you can deduct.  It has nothing to do with income.  If you paid state and local taxes of $12,000 in 2018, TurboTax will limit that to a deduction of $10,000 because of the new tax law.

Got it. Thanks.
