Can I use my taxes paid in from last year on my current years return?

Missouri. I did not receive a refund this year, instead I paid in over $1200. Can I claim this somewhere on my return for 2008?

Unless that 1200.00 was state income tax that you paid in, its not tax deductible on your federal return.

You can deduct state taxes paid on federal (if you're itemizing). You can't deduct federal taxes you paid.
