Any word on why the Washington State sales tax section is continuing to hold up federal returns, beyond "the section isn't ready to complete"?

The Sales Tax section in Deductions & Credits under Estimates and Other Taxes Paid is available for entry.

Sales taxes are entered as an itemized deduction on Schedule A.  If you do not have enough itemized deductions that are greater then the Standard Deduction for your filing status you have no need to enter the sales tax.

Schedule A has been finalized in TurboTax so that is not holding up your tax return.
