You can enter the sales tax you
paid for the boat you purchased in 2017 by going to Federal>Deductions and

Sales tax is an itemized

between using the deduction for your state tax paid OR the sales tax deduction,
whichever is higher. The TT process will suggest one or the other as you
prepare your return.
