State tax filing

Yes, whether the refund is taxable will be based in part on the state INCOME tax you deducted. 

But you don't need to know if it was sales tax or income tax when you enter it, just enter the number from the 2018 Schedule A line 5a. The program then asks if the box on line 5a is checked. (if it is, you used sales tax and the refund is not taxable) 

 

Hope this clears things up. 

Thank you for using TurboTax.
