My federal taxes paid with my return.

Deductions & credits

You cannot deduct Federal Taxes on a Federal return, other than estimated taxes paid so you get credit for them (see FAQ below).   However, there are a handful of states that allow deduction of Federal taxes on the state return.

Deductions & credits

There are six states that allow you to enter the federal tax you paid on your state return--Alabama, Iowa. Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, and Oregon.  If you are filing in one of these states watch for the deduction when you prepare your state return.
