After you file

Yes if you Itemized Deductions.  

You can deduct any state taxes paid (for any year) or state estimates actually paid in during the year on your federal return if you Itemize deductions.  But just the tax, not any interest or penalties.   If you transferred from last year it might already be filled in.

 

But if you itemize there is a limit on deducting tax paid.  There is a max 10,000 limit (5,000 MFS) of property tax and state taxes "SALT".  SALT is State And Local Tax.  Which includes property tax, any state tax paid like for last year’s return and includes any state withholding from your W2s and any 1099s you have. And any taxes in W2 box 14 and 19 like SDI or VDI. You can only deduct up to 10,000 (5,000 MFS) for SALT State and Local Taxes.
