Can I deduct my 2018 CA state tax payment from my 1040 return and my 2018 Fed tax payment from my 540 return for 2019?

[Bsch4477]

You can’t deduct federal taxes paid on your state return.  You can deduct state taxes paid on your federal return but you can only deduct what you paid in the same tax year as your return. You can only deduct those tax payments if you itemize and the deduction for the combined amount of state income tax and property tax is limited to $10,000.

You can only deduct any state taxes (for any year) or state estimates actually paid in 2019 on your 2019 federal return if you itemize deductions. But just the tax, not interest. You can not deduct any back taxes on a state return.  You can not deduct prior year Federal Taxes paid on a federal return, no matter what year they are for.
