I’m doing my 2024 taxes. Where do I put California State income tax paid with my California income tax return form 540 for 2023 that I paid in 2024 ?

Were the state taxes that you paid in 2024, estimated tax payments for 2024? If so, you will enter them as estimated taxes paid in the Estimates and Other Taxes Paid area of the Deductions and Credits section.

Refer to the TurboTax Help article Where do I enter my estimated tax payments? for navigation instructions.

If the state taxes that you paid in 2024 were the balance due amounts from your 2023 tax return or for a prior year tax return, then no, those taxes aren't deductible on your tax return.
