In 2022 I filed amended 2020 federal and state tax returns. I had to pay additional amounts due on both amended returns. Is there someplace on my 2022 returns where I should record those payments, possibly getting a federal deduction for the state tax payment? If it matters, the amended returns stemmed from correcting excess Roth IRA contributions.

The money you paid to the IRS for a previous year’s federal tax return is not deductible, so you do not enter it anywhere on your 2022 return. If you paid taxes due in 2022 to your state or local government, you can enter that by going to Federal> Deductions and Credits> Estimates and Other Taxes Paid> Other Income Taxes. You can enter the taxes you paid, but do not include any penalties or interest.
