If i paid extra each paycheck towards taxes where do i put that?

I had extra money taken from each paycheck to be put in both state and federal taxes. I was wondering if there was a place to put that in deduction or if it already was factored in.

If you had "extra"money withheld form your paycheck it is already factored in on your W-2.

This would already be factored in to the W-2 as the taxes paid.  The amount of your federal tax will be higher than if you had not paid the extra.

It should be included in the withholding in W2 box 2.  Just enter box 2.  Or ask your employer if you're not sure box 2 includes the extra amount.  It's not broken out separately.  It's all the same withholding.
