Another tax question for your kind consideration and feedback.
In 2014 we made a tax payment to the state of California for taxes still owed at the time our return was filed for the 2013 tax year.
As such we should be able to list this as a deduction on our 2014 Federal return.
I have tracked the dollar amount in our 2014 expenses, but I don't have 'proof' of the payment by way of a cleared check.
Do I need 'proof' - or is this another case like our 529 payment - the IRS will 'contact us'?
