Where do I add the New Mexico state taxes I paid last year? It was listed on my 2015 tax return (prepared elsewhere) and I need to add it here

Schedule A line 5??

[AnnetteB · Accepted solution]

The amount of state taxes paid is reported on Schedule A Line 5.  

Use the following steps to enter the amount into your return:

• On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)

• This opens a box where you can type in “state balance due paid” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)

• The search results will give you an option to “Jump to state balance due paid”

• Click on the blue “Jump to state balance due paid” link and enter your information

 Scroll down to the bottom of the screen to the Other Income Taxes Paid in 2016 section to find Balance Due on your 2015 state taxes paid in 2016, then click Start.
