Volvogirl,
Ref: "Any federal taxes you paid for 2020 don't go on your 2021 return. " Understand that taxes paid via the regular 2020 1040 are history. So what you are saying is the 2020 1040X which I should import into TurboTax will record the additional federal and state tax paid in this tax reporting year - 2021?
Here is what stimulated the 1040X. I leaned in 2021 that my mutual fund company failed to provide me a 1099-whatever for the sale of some mutual funds - regular income. The mutual fund company provided a 1099-whatever to my state but not me. My state notified me of the missing income. So I had to make a special effort to obtain the missing 1099-whatever, and then prepared the 1040X and paid federal and state taxes. [amended state return too]
So the 2020 income that prompted those taxes was recorded in my 1040X and taxes paid in 2021. Thanks Gus
