When you enter your state withholdings from Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, they automatically transfer to Schedule A (Form 1040), Itemized Deductions, as an itemized deduction and do not need to be entered again in the program.

To enter state withholdings from your W-2, go to our Form W-2 - Entering in Program FAQ.
