State tax filing

These amounts won't necessarily match. 

 

Line 76 of Form IT-201 includes tax withheld and estimated tax payments for the 2023 tax year.  However, it can also include other amounts.  See lines 63 - 76, Form IT-201

 

Line 5 of Form IT-196, on the other hand, includes either state and local income taxes or general sales tax that you included on line 5a of your federal Schedule A. If you chose to deduct state and local income taxes on your federal Schedule A, this can include, according to State and Local Income Taxes in the Instructions for Schedule A:

• State and local income taxes withheld from your salary during 2023. Your Form(s) W-2 will show these amounts.  Forms W-2G, 1099-G, 1099-R, 1099-MISC, and 1099-NEC may also show state and local income taxes withheld; however, don't include on line 5a any withheld taxes you deducted on other forms, such as Schedule C, E or F. 

• State and local income taxes paid in 2023 for a prior year, such as taxes paid with your 2022 state or local income tax return. Don't include penalties or interest.

• State and local estimated tax payments made during 2023, including any  part of a prior year refund that you chose to have credited to your 2023 state or local income taxes.

• Mandatory contributions you made to the California, New Jersey, or New York Nonoccupational Disability Benefit Fund, Rhode Island Temporary Disability Benefit Fund, or Washington State Supplemental Workmen's Compensation Fund.

• Mandatory contributions to the Alaska, California, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania state unemployment fund. 

• Mandatory contributions to state family leave programs, such as the New Jersey Family Leave Insurance (FLI) program and the  California Paid Family Leave program.
