Get your taxes done using TurboTax
In general, state and local taxes are deductible when paid, not when accrued. In order to claim the itemized deduction for state and local income taxes, the program needs to know when you actually paid the taxes.
It sounds like Turbotax thinks you paid some local tax on your 2022 return. So now it wants to know how much of the 2022 tax bill was actually paid in 2022, and how much was paid in 2023, because the amount that was actually paid in 2023 can be added to your other itemized deductions for 2023 even though it was for a previous year. You should have that information from your other records.
If you are in a situation where you pay no local income taxes at all, then there may be something funny with your tax file, as turbotax seems to think you did pay local taxes in 2022. Calling customer support may be the only way to get help.
Why are you showing us both Pennsylvania and Mass. local taxes?
