Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

This software is useless when trying to go to a section and amend information. How do you get to Schedule A for major purchases' sales tax?

In the Review, it says to fix an entry, but won't allow me or show me how to get to Schedule A to fix it.

You do not have direct access to the forms and schedules when you use online TurboTax.  Forms mode is only featured in the CD/download.   If you have changes to make you have to go through the same interview screens you used when you entered the information originally.

Yes, you can deduct sales tax paid on vehicles as part of itemized deductions, but whether you get any tax benefit from doing so, is another question. 

This is where you enter the deduction for sales tax:
1. Select Federal from the left side menu.
2. Select Deductions and Credits. 
3. Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and expand the section.
4. To the right of Sales Tax, click Start or Revisit.
5. Select Continue with Sales Tax
6. Select Easy Guide.
7. Answer the questions about where you lived.
8. On the screen Major Purchases, answer Yes. 
9. Enter the information about your purchases. 
10. Continue through the section and TurboTax will let you know which deduction is best for you.
