What do you mean by "money deducted?" Deducted from what? If you have a W-2 then the amounts deducted from your paychecks for federal and state are shown in boxes 2 and 17 of your W-2. Or are you asking about something else?

Money deducted for what?

Federal income taxes withheld from wage?

State income taxes withheld from wages?

Estimated tax payments, federal, state or local?

Personal real estate tax payments? Loan interest on a residence? Auto loan payments?

It depends.

If you made estimated tax payments during the year, you will need to enter those amounts in the Deductions & Credits section of the program. See where do I enter my estimated tax payments for more details on finding this section.

If you were an employee and had federal/state taxes withheld during the year, you will enter those amounts when entering your W-2 information. Please see how do I import or enter my W-2 for details. As xmasbaby0 mentioned before, these amounts would be listed on your W-2 in boxes 2 for federal withholdings and box 17 for state withholdings.
