Enter NYS Estimated Payments

[Yrags]

Hi, new to ATX. Client had paid Federal and NYS/NYC estimated taxes. I can jump to estimated tax worksheet from Line 65 on 1040 no prob. But when I jump to the NYS worksheet from line 75 on the IT-201 the state amounts are entered in a different 1040 worksheet and the city amounts are just written in separately. Problem is the 1040 worksheet is used to calculate the deductible amount on Schedule A, so I want to be able to enter the State and City amounts, but then back on the state worksheet it shows both amounts as the state amount. If this question is not too convoluted can anyone tell me how to enter the city amount separately from state so they both appear on Sch A AND on pg 4 of the IT-201 properly?

Thanks. Just FYI I am doing a 2017 return so the state taxes are not limited.

TIA.

Hi!  I've always entered the total of NYS & NYC together in the NYS taxes paid.  So far, I've never found a reason the NYC tax estimates need be separately reported since they are totaled on the return on line 75 anyway.  Truthfully I have no idea why they have that NY City taxes entry there in the detail section of Line 75.

the separation is for NY's internal budgeting.  you enter them as one number unless you have  MCTMT or UBT taxes in the NY individual return.
