I paid federal tax when I filed my 2013 return at the beginning of October. Can I deduct this payment on my 2014 return?
No, federal income taxes are not deductible. But if you also paid state income tax in 2014 for 2013, you can deduct it on your 2014 federal income tax return.

Tax deferral
Shifting income to a later year, such as where you defer taxable interest to the following year by purchasing a T-bill or savings certificate maturing after the end of the current year. Investments in qualified retirement plans provide tax deferral.
