how do I enter the payment of prior year state and local taxes when I do not have any current year state and local taxes?

The program shows no state and local tax deduction probably because my 1099-Rs are not showing any withheld taxes and wants me to take the sales tax deduction

Any payments made in 2024 towards state and local taxes count.

If you made estimated payments, you can enter them under deductions. Where do I enter my estimated tax payments?
If you paid tax due to your city or state, enter it on the line below estimates, under Other Income Taxes.
You can calculate the sales tax deduction. The program will find the best outcome.
