    Out of state, state tax!
    My husband and I live in Tennessee. We do not have a state tax, but he works in Kentucky. And they do have a state tax. He pays a city tax and a state tax plus his regular federal. Is any of the taxes he pays in Kentucky tax deductible in Tennessee?

    Tennessee does not have income tax on earned income. So deduct from what?

    The Kentucky state and the city taxes ARE deductible on your federal tax return on Schedule A.

    Yes, only if you itemize your deductions. You will itemize your deductions only if your itemized deductions are more than the standard deduction.
