Quarterly tax paymets are not "deductions" but a pre-payment of your tax liability. The 4th one isn't actually due until 1/15/08 and should be postmarked by that date to be considered on-time.

Addendum: OK, the deduction for state taxes paid is only for those actually paid in 2007. Those would need to be paid by 12/31/07 to be deductible. If you mail it on the 30th or 31st, I'd recommend getting proof of mailing.

Postmark by 12/31 will support your deduction. But if you have AMT tax like a lot of people you will lose the deduction anyway for AMT purposes.
