Here's where it is:

1.  Click Federal on the left-hand side menu.

2.  Click Deductions & Credits across the top.

3.  Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and click Show more.

4.  Click Start or Revisit by Income Taxes Paid and answer Yes to About income taxes paid.

Click Start or Revisit by Balance due on your 2017 state taxes paid in 2018.

You're allowed to take either:

  • State, local, and foreign income taxes
  • State and local general sales taxes

on line 5 of the IT-196.

If you believe that number is wrong, go back and check box 17 and 19 of your W2 input.

1.       Click Federal on the left-hand side menu.

2.       Click Income across the top.

3.       Scroll down to Wages and Salaries and click Show more.

4.       Click Start or Revisit by Wages and Salaries.

17 and 19 are empty on my W2 - only 16 and 17 have a value

The amount in box 17 is not the same as the IT-196? Did you make estimated state tax payments during the year?  To check:

 1.  Click Federal on the left-hand side menu.

2.  Click Deductions & Credits across the top.

3.  Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and click Show more.

4.  Click Start or Revisit by Estimated Tax Payments.

Click Start or Revisit by State estimated taxes for 2018.
