Can I adjust / reduce my stated 2017 state tax return value to reflect a prior year (2013) deficiency adjustment I had to pay this past year?
No, the state tax paid to a prior year doesn't change your refund or tax due for this year. If you itemized in the federal return, it could have been used as a deduction in the federal, but states don't allow that deduction in the state return.
