Question

Why is the state sales tax and the property tax lumped together at a figure of $700? In my case I paid $700 in property tax plus state sales tax of 8.5%. Why not detail?

This particular point needs to be broken out to distinguish the two areas of expense payments.

Yes, it should be broken out. You are correct. The Deductions and Credits section does group the number together. Please preview tax return to confirm that these are not combined on the tax return itself.

Keep in mind, unless itemized deductions exceed the standard deduction option for your filing status, these details will not impact your tax filing. TurboTax will always optimize your available deduction.
