Where do I deduct taxes paid this year on a previous year's return

[Howard1948 · Accepted solution]

If the taxes you paid this year related to a prior year was for Federal income taxes, there is no deduction on the current year return and that amount is not entered anywhere on the current year return.

If the taxes you paid this year related to a prior year was for state or local income taxes, and if you are taking a deduction for state and local income taxes paid as part of your itemized deductions on Schedule A (rather than the standard deduction), you can enter those prior year state and local income taxes as part of your state and local income tax deduction to be included on Schedule A.

I meant on a C-corp. Can we deduct taxes paid to IRS 2018r be deductible this year 2019?

Thank you,

On a C-Corp you cannot deduct the taxes paid.

On my 2018 form 1040 a had a large excess of taxes which I credited to 2019.  Where do I apply that amount on my 2019 1040?

be careful!  if you e-filed 2018, used TT, and are in the same a/c for 2019 TT should have picked up the overpayment and reflected it on the carryforward worksheet. this amount would then be included on schedule 3 line 8

if you print the carryover worksheet or save it as a PDF. it will be on page 3 on line 28.
