Can I put 2016 tax payments into 2018 TurboTax?

[bob-cornell]

In 2018, I received notice from both the IRS and NC DOR of underpayment of tax due in 2016; so I paid IRS $4919 and NCDOR $1133.55. Where do I put these in 2018 TurboTax to get credit on these taxes?

Federal taxes owed and paid for a prior tax year are not reported on a federal tax return.

State taxes owed and paid for a prior tax year are entered on a federal tax return, but not any penalties or interest.

To enter state income taxes paid -

• Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
• Click on Deductions and Credits
• Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
• Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
• On Other Income Taxes, click on the start or update button

On the next screen scroll down to Other Income Taxes Paid in 2018

Or enter state taxes paid in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen.  Click on Jump to state taxes paid
