It depends, there are a few possible reasons for this.  First, the tax law only allows you to deduct state taxes in the calendar year you actually paid them. So any Arizona estimated payments made in January 2026 cannot be deducted on your 2025 federal return.   Additionally, the federal state and local tax deduction cap is $40,000 for the 2025 tax year. If your total state taxes exceed this new $40,000 limit, Schedule A will not include everything, even if your worksheet shows higher totals.   This deduction also begins to phase out if your modified adjusted gross income is over $500,000 ($250,000 for married filing separately).

Amended your return last year—make sure you’re using the AGI from your original return, not the amended one. (If you only have a 1040X form, it’s on line 1, column A). Rounded your AGI to the nearest dollar—be sure to round up when it’s 50 cents or more and down when it’s 49 cents or less. Filed with your spouse last year—you and your spouse have the same 2024 AGI. (Don’t split the AGI amount or enter  0  for one of you).   Time-saving Tip: If what you entered is correct and you continue to get a reject, you won't be able to e-file.
