I paid taxes owed from 2014 in 2022. Would that amount be what I need to put for taxes paid in 2022 with extension?

No.  Federal taxes owed and paid for a prior year are not reported on a 2022 federal tax return.

No.   You do not enter the back taxes you paid for 2014 anywhere on your 2022 federal tax return.  It is not deductible and has no effect your 2022 tax due or refund.

 

I HAD TO PAY BACK TAX OWED 

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.

 

There are several  states that allow you to enter the federal tax you paid on your state return--Alabama, Iowa. Missouri, Montana, and Oregon.  If you are filing in one of these states watch for the deduction when you prepare your state return.
