Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The software is up to date, as I have been saving/restarting everyday, hoping the updates for multiple "not available yet" or "available soon" issues.


Saving and restarting might not update the software. In TurboTax click Online on the menu bar at the top and select Check for Updates. After installing updates, if any, go through the entire sales tax interview again and see if Schedule A line 5a includes the amount from the IRS tables. Look at the actual form, not a summary screen in the TurboTax interview.


If Schedule A line 5a still does not include the sales tax from the IRS tables, go to forms mode and open the Tax and Interest Deduction Worksheet. On the worksheet, the table in line 1b, Sales Tax Per State of Residence, should show the sales tax from the tables in column (9), and line 1c should show the total sales tax from the IRS tables. The table in line 1d, Sales Tax Paid on Specific Items, should show the sales tax on the car in column (8), and line 1e should show the total sales tax for specific items. Line 1f should be the sum of lines 1c and 1e. Line 1i should be the same as line 1f, and the amount on line 1i of the worksheet should also be on Schedule A line 5a. If anything is not as I described here, where are the differences?
