    State Tax as n itemize deduction
    Hi,

    I am about to file my federal an state tax return. It is almost ready except for few things. I would be filing 1040 NREZ

    1) I have $1600 worth of state tax deducted from my paychecks for which I am filing the state tax return. Besides getting most of it back by filing the state tax return can I also include this state tax as an itemize deduction in my federal tax return?

    2)In 2006 $15 worth of state tax was deducted. I didn't fill out any state tax return last year. Should I do it now or will it be OK because I don't have to pay anything and its very less amount

    Please let me know as soon as possible

    Thanks

    Adding to my questions,

    I am already getting that India-US treaty itemize deduction of $5300, should I add my withhold state tax in it and mention that total as an itemize deduction?
