You can make this entry in the federal section of the program.

  1. Select Deductions & Credits
  2. Scroll down to All Tax Breaks 
  3. Select the section titled Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
  4. Select Sales Tax
  5. Proceed to enter you information
  6. TurboTax will proceed to provide you with options and let you know whether the sales tax is higher or the state and local income taxes deduction is higher as you can only utilize one on your itemized deductions.  You cannot use both.

Sales taxes versus state income taxes
