What line can I find the "federal income tax after non-refundable credits for 2020?"

[TommyBoy2]

Trying to file state taxes and need the line from 2020 for federal income tax after nonrefundable credits.  All I can find when searching is prior years and the lines from the 1040 don't correspond.  Thanks!

[LenaH]

Federal Income Tax after non-refundable credits for 2020 is located on the 1040 Line 24.

Thank you!

my 1040 line 24 says estimated tax penalty... is this correct?

[JotikaT2]

No, line 24 of your Form 1040 shows your total tax.  

Any estimated tax penalty would be reflected on Line 38 of Form 1040.  If you have an amount on this line, it would also be included in Line 24 assuming you opted to have it included in your tax return.

Please see the sample of the second page of Form 1040 below.

Oh okay, thanks. I was trying to find my 2019 Federal Income Tax after non-refundable credits. I see this one said 2020.

Is that's in this field what we are supposed to put in our state tax filing?  Im doing Iowa state taxers and don't know what to put here. Putting what's in this line makes the difference between a small state return and a large one and I don't want to put in the wrong thing.

@ sbeard99

Please clarify.  You’re going in a different direction than where this thread started.

Are you referring to your 2021 Ohio State Income Tax Return?  If so, what line? 

Otherwise, please provide more information.

@sbeard99 Did you ever get an answer or figure this out ?

@JohnW152 : @sbeard99  is asking about the federal income tax after non-refundable credits in TurboTax while filing Iowa state return. What to enter in  the box ?

[ErnieS0]

The amount of federal tax paid is 2021 Form 1040 line 37, however, there may be add-backs.

See Iowa's instructions at Additional Federal Tax Paid in 2022 for 2021 and Prior Years. Also, you would add any back taxes paid that are not on Form 1040, such as taxes paid due to an audit.
