If you file on the cash basis like most of us, you must report actual taxes withheld + excess owed from year before or - refund received. This means that all (non-federal, etc.) tax payments made in 1983, whether for 1982 taxes, or 1983 withholding, are 1983 deductions. Similarly, the payments received or made for 1983 state tax returns will not have any affect on the 1983 federal tax return. John Haller
