No. State inheritance tax paid is not deductible on your federal income tax return.

State  Inheritance Tax, and Federal or State Estate Tax, are not a part of the Income Tax system.  

TurboTax only supports Income Tax filings.
Inheritance Taxes and Estate Taxes are not allowable deductions, in general, on Income Tax filing

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ONLY STATES with INHERITANCE TAX on bequests to beneficiaries are:

  • Iowa           - no tax assessed if decedent's estate is under $25,000
  • Kentucky
  • Maryland    -lowest top  tax inheritance tax rate pf 10%; small estates of under $30,000 exempt
  • Nebraska   -highest  top tax inheritance tax rate pf 18%
  • New Jersey
  • Pennsylvania

All six states exempt spouses, and depending on state, exemption varies for immediate relatives.
