Deductions & credits

It wouldn't be any tax paid from April to April, it would be any tax payment to the taxing authority paid from January 1 to December 31 of the tax year you are filing for, assuming the tax had been assessed (billed) during that time frame. You are correct in that if you don't itemized your deductions, the tax paid won't affect anything on your federal return. It may be different for your state return though. @kimjdemaria-gmai
