Odd response from the first guy as you only accidently repeated a word in your question, which in my opinion was pretty clear. Anyways, for individual income tax purposes, state taxes paid during the prior year (the same time period that you are reporting your earnings for) are deductible but only if you would benefit from itemizing your deductions as opposed to taking the standard deduction; federal taxes paid in that same time period, otherwise, are not deductible. Regarding business taxes and deductibility with various taxing authorities is a bit more complicated of a discussion
