Here are the steps to enter your sales tax:

  • Sign into your account and click Take me to my return
  • Select Federal (in left navigation column)
  • Select Deductions & Credits (top of page)
  • Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and click Show more
  • Select Start next to Sales Tax

Sales tax is an itemized deduction.  If your state has a state income tax, you have to choose between using the deduction for your state tax paid OR the sales tax deduction, whichever is higher.  The TurboTax process will suggest one or the other as you prepare your return.
