TurboTax has recommended I take the local and state income tax deduction ($9,000+) rather than the sales tax deduction of ($1,500+).  I do not know how to accept the recommendation or enter a dollar amount on the form

    The program says we've chosen a deduction for you. There is a line on the left side that says Change your deduction. You can click that box and choose from:            

    • The larger deduction
    • State and local income tax deduction
    • Sales tax deduction

    If you did nothing, the program will choose the best for you. Continue to move on through the program.
