Wrong age for daughter, Irs billed me but not reqire me to amend return

[JL Hut]

I filed 2018 return with daughter as age 16 when she was actually 17.  The Irs billed me for additional tax for the error but did not require me to amend my return or Tax Audit did it and did not send a copy.  Now working on 2019 and I downloaded 2018 return  into the software and everything is just like I sent them in April of last year with my daughter age wrong and not showing the additional tax i had to pay.  What should I do?

Go to My Info and correct your daughter's date of birth==just click edit by her name and go through the screens to correct it.  As for the extra tax you had to pay, that is not deductible and does not have to go on your federal tax return.

Change your daughter's birth date to the correct date.

Federal income taxes owed and paid for a prior year are not entered on nor deductible on a federal tax return.

What about my Michigan State return?  are the additional taxes deductible?

[xmasbaby0]

No.

There are six states that allow you to enter the federal tax you paid on your state return--Alabama, Iowa. Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, and Oregon.  If you are filing in one of these states watch for the deduction when you prepare your state return.
