Are CA real estate withholding deductible in Federal return?

I had to amend my CA return due to a missed 593, real estate withholding. We sold a home (as part of estate) and the money was withheld but our CPA failed to included the CA withholding on the estate return. We just got the changes and he told us to file amended returns. When I entered the changes in Turbo Tax, it *also spit out a new amended 1041* with an additional refund. In comparing the 1041 and 1041x, I can see that additional CA withholding, the exact amount, is showing up in Itemized Deductions, Taxes You Paid, line 5a, State and Local **Income taxes**. Is that correct?
