Deducting a decedent's state income taxes on the estate's 1041

[BEK123]

The decedent died in late 2021.  When the date-of-death return was filed in April 2022 a substantial state income tax was due, which the decedent's estate paid.  Is that payment deductible by the estate on its 2022 form 1041?

Yes, if paid in the estate's 2022 tax year.
