Where do I enter state income tax as a deduction for schedule A?

What state income taxes are you referring to?

The state taxes withheld and shown on a W-2 or a Form 1099?

State estimated tax payments made for tax year 2025?

State 2024 tax refund applied to a 2025 state tax return?

Where do I enter state income tax as a deduction for schedule A?

To enter state income tax as a deduction on Schedule A in TurboTax Online, it appears under "Deductions & Credits" but may be listed as part of "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid."

Here is how to enter it:
1. Go to the Federal Taxes section.
2. Select Deductions & Credits.
3. Scroll to or search for Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and select Start or Update.
4. Then select the option related to state and local income taxes you paid, such as estimated payments or payments with extension.

TurboTax will calculate your state and local tax deduction and apply it to Schedule A if you itemize.
