Ok turbo tax keeps saying that turbo tax recommends the state and local income tax deduction but when I continue it does not put that amount in the tax break section?

State and local tax is made up of the state withholding on your forms, such as on your W-2.

Sales tax is based on your sales tax rate and your income, plus any large purchases you report. 

This is state tax that would be reported on Schedule A Line 5a, either the income tax or the sales tax. 

If you live in a state that has no state income tax, such as Texas, you would most likely choose Sales tax. 

Most of the state income tax is entered via your W-2 or other income documents. 

Sales Tax is entered under

Deductions & Credits

Estimates and Other taxes Paid

Sales Tax

After the choice between Income tax and Sales Tax, you will choose between Itemized Deductions and taking the Standard Deductions. 

If you go through the Deductions & Credits section and click "Done with Deductions" the program will give you the totals of your deductions.
