I owed taxes for both state and fed for 2015, and paid in full in 2016, where do I put this in?

Can I deduct taxes paid in 2016 for 2015 ?

You can not deduct or enter Federal taxes paid for 2015 on your 2016 tax return. If you paid state taxes for any prior year in 2016 then you can deduct that on your 2016 federal return. You would enter the state taxes paid under
Federal Taxes
Deductions and Credits
Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
