Sales taxes on major purchases are deductible as a general sales tax even if the tax rate was different than the general sales tax rate. However, if you paid sales tax at a rate higher than the general sales tax, you can deduct only the amount of the tax that you would have paid at the general sales tax rate. I am not sure why TurboTax does not use the general sales tax rate you enter as a cap, but leave the amount blank and TurboTax will calculate it.
