Question

Can I change a Schedule A State Sales Tax deduction to a State/Local Income Tax deduction?

I don't see either an option to delete the sales tax and Turbo Tax is not allowing me to add the Income tax deduction.

TurboTax chooses the larger of sales tax or income tax paid for Schedule A. The program will pull the amount from W-2s, 1099s, etc for state income tax paid. It will also included other state tax payments, like amount paid with prior year return, estimated tax, etc. If you have state tax payments you want included on Schedule A, you need to enter them in the appropriate section of the program. You cannot add state income tax payments directly on Schedule A.
