IRS Schedule A Itemized Deductions is used to reported itemized deductions rather than to claim the standard deduction on your IRS form 1040 income tax return.

To input 'total sales tax rate, in TurboTax Premium Online, select Deductions & Credits, then Estimates and Other Taxes Paid, then Sales Tax.
