Unfortunately, federal taxes paid for any tax year can't be deducted on a federal return.  If your state has a deduction for federal taxes paid, that will be covered in TurboTax's state interview.

If these were state taxes paid, please see the TurboTax FAQ "Can I deduct state or local income tax on my federal return?" below for additional information.
