State tax filing

The state tax that was withheld is entered into the program while you are in the Federal Section of TurboTax.

 

The amount is entered by entering forms, such as your W-2. 

If you had state tax withheld which is not on a tax form, that could also be entered, but this would be very uncommon. 

 

There is no line on your Federal Tax Return 1040 which will mirror that number, however IF YOU ITEMIZE deductions, rather than taking the STANDARD DEDCUTION, State Taxes Paid will be listed on Schedule A. 

If you take the Standard Deduction, State Taxes paid won't be listed on the Federal 1040, but will flow to the state portion of the program
