While working through my 2019 Iowa State Return, I am asked about prior year federal tax. The question is as follows:

Tell us about your federal income tax after non-refundable credits for 2018 or prior years
- Is this information found on line 13 of my 2018 federal 1040?

Subsequent questions ask about nondeductible taxes:

2018 Federal Income Tax Withheld from W-2 and 1099
- 2018 federal 1040, line 16?
Prior Year Estimated Taxes Paid for 2018 and Amount Applied from 2017 Return
- Unsure where to find this?

I read prior posts but couldn't find a conclusive answer. TIA!

2018 federal income tax Line 13 is correct for tax after non-refundable credits.

Line 16 is correct for tax withheld.

Prior Year estimated Tax/ amount applied from 2017 return would be Line 66 of Schedule 5.

Hi Mary, thanks for the quick response!

Looking through my old return, I don't have a 2018 1040 schedule 5. Is that only applicable if I opted to pay ahead on 2018 taxes during the 2017 tax season?

Yes, if you did not make estimated payments or apply your 2017 refund, it is zero.

It may also be on the Line 17 on the second line (not the a,b,c) - if there is no amount there, it is zero. BUT if you had other taxes on Schedule 5, they would be included here as well.
