Sales Tax Deduction. What is the max amount of Nontaxable Income that can be reported before raising an IRS Red Flag?

I live in NV and retired this year. My annual expenses were comparable with prior years, but my Income was much lower - therefore my TurboTax-calculated Sales Tax Deduction was much lower. I lived off of my Savings, so I'm thinking on entering $57K into the Nontaxable Income question to be representative. What is the amount that can be entered here before risking an IRS audit?

Sales tax is a relatively small deduction as far as itemized deductions are concerned, so the income amount you mention should not result in much scrutiny.
