By completing your income tax return correctly.

Start with all of your total worldwide income then subtract the adjustments to your income to come up with your adjusted gross income on the 1040 tax form line 37 and 38.

If you can qualify for some of the adjustments to income on the 1040 tax return those amounts would reduce you're your total income to make up your adjusted gross income line 37 and line 38 of the 1040 tax form and in turn reduce your taxable income and your federal income tax liability. Then you will subtract your deduction amount and then your exemption amount and line 43 you will have your taxable income. Then you will be able to determine the amount of your federal income tax liability for the year that and that amount will end up line 44 page 2 of the 1040 tax form.

Go to the IRS.gov web site and use the search box for Instructions 1040 in Adobe PDF Format go to page 29 through page 35 Adjusted Gross income start with line 23 through line 36 of the 1040 tax form then go through lines to line 44 for your taxable income on your 1040 federal income tax return.

How much tax if any can you deduct on your federal and or state income tax?

Obviously, tax isn't deductible from determining the income that is taxable, for the same tax involved. There is no limit to the amounts. Generally: Federal - State (and city) income taxes and property taxes, (and under a new rule some sales taxes if your in a state without property tax), and of course a plethora of the payroll type taxes may or may not be currently includable in determing Federal taxable income. State Income taxes do not allow their own State (and sometimes other States) taxes to be deducted...essentially you add them back to your Federal Taxable Income. They may also consider some things like Unemployment Ins payments (and other payroll taxes) differently than the Feds. Also generally, to be currently deductible, the tax must have been paid to the jurisdiction, not just what you expect to pay.
