Prior Year State or Local Tax Payments - Tax Audit

mjm0222 — Tue, 04 Jun 2019 21:09:31 GMT

I was audited in 2016 by the state for my 2013 taxes, and as a result had to pay an amount in tax assessment as well as an amount in interest accrued. I paid the entire balance in 2016. Should I include this information in the "Prior Year State or Local Tax Payments" section? If I should include it, should I list the tax assessment and interest accrued amount or just the tax assessment amount?

You can include the amount of tax paid in prior years' taxes.

Unfortunately, the interest (and any penalties) that you paid is not deductible.
