Sales Tax deduction

Turbo Tax seems to be using the IRS sales tax tables. But when I use the IRS calculator, I get a larger deduction by over $250. This is because I'm at the upper end of the table. Is there a way to force Turbo Tax to calculate the sales tax deduction using the IRS calculator? If so, how?

Thanks

You cannot change how TurboTax calculates the sales tax deduction but you can choose to enter the actual sales tax paid and enter the number you have there.
