Steamtrain,
> Balance due for 2021 taxes ...line 23 is in the state (or local) taxes paid during 2022, when you filed his 2021 taxes. That amount transfers to 2022 , because it can sometimes be used as a Federal income deduction...but may not be used at all since dependents are only very rarely able to use itemized deductions.
Sorry, but I still don't see what this is.
Why would state (or local) taxes paid during 2022 affect his federal return?
And how would TT know what state (or local) taxes my son paid during 2022?
He is not my dependent. He is his mother's dependent.
I am filling out his taxes, but I am not listing myself on his tax return in any way.
She is going to sign the return.
Thanks.
Mac
