Retirement tax questions

Sorry, but he's right...The state estimated payment you made on 13 January 2023....will NOT be included on the Federal Schedule A for 2022 taxes.   It will be included as a 2022  NY state tax payment credit for your NY forms, though...as it should be. 

BUT

The Jan payment you made to NY can be included as a potential Federal deduction in your 2023 Federal taxes that you will file in 2024.

AND Also

If you made a 4th Qtr Estimated payment to NY in Jan of 2022 (for your 2021 NY taxes), that could be included now as a potential Federal 2022 deduction.

_______

Only state taxes actually paid during 1 Jan-to-31 Dec of 2022 are allowed to be included in Federal state taxes paid deductions.  It has always been the rule for many-many years.  OF course, now there is a 10,000 State and local tax deduction limit that might be in plat..that is relatively new for the past few years.
