The breakdown of total tax says: "The $xx,xxx of total tax on your return comes from adding up your $xx,xxx of total taxes before credits and other taxes are applied and the $xxx of other taxes you have to pay." What is included in the "other taxes"?
The Other Income Taxes summarizes ALL of the taxes you have paid either directly or through withholdings on Forms such as W2s, 1099s, etc for both your federal and state returns. For example, that number would include both of your Federal and state withholdings from your W2s.
