I missed paying taxes in 2016. I paid what I owed plus interest in 2018. Can I claim this amount on my 2018 tax form and if so, where on the Turbo Tax form?

Can I claim taxes for 2016 that I paid in 2018?

Federal back tax and interest are not deductible and are not reported on your tax return.

Federal taxes owed and paid for a prior tax year, including any interest or penalties, is not reported on a federal tax return.
