Please bear with me here as I'm not very experienced with itemized deductions...
Say my 2012 total state tax liability was $5,000 paid as follows:
- $4,500 withheld on my 2012 W-2
- Paid the remaining $500 in 2013 when I filed for 2012
What can I deduct on my 2013 Schedule A (line 5) from the above?
And then if I had another $4,500 State Withholding on my 2013 W-2, is that amount deductible on my 2013 Schedule A?
