Unfortunately not. Kentucky does not give any type of credit or deduction for the amount of Federal tax you must pay. There are some states that do, but Kentucky is not one of them. Kentucky in general will allow you the same itemized deductions as the Federal return, except they will not allow you to deduct state income taxes paid. Kentucky does allow you to deduct local taxes paid, but neither state nor Federal taxes.
