Deductions & credits

@YusufA   Here is how to get to that line 6.  This will take you there. 

 

If your excise tax qualifies as a personal property tax, follow these steps to enter your personal property taxes.

  1. Open your return in TurboTax.
    (To do this, sign in to TurboTax and click the orange Take me to my return button.)
  2. Select Federal Taxes (Personal depending on version).
  3. Select Deductions & Credits, click Show all tax breaks (if needed)
  4. Scroll down to the Cars and Other Things You Own section, click Show More to expand the options. 
  5. Click on the Start/Revisit button to the right of the Personal Property Taxes topic.
  6. Follow the prompts.

Generally, excise taxes can't be deducted on your personal return. This includes things like fuel taxes and excise taxes paid to your city or state when you sell your home.

 

However, some states and localities erroneously label excise taxes as personal property taxes, which may be deductible.
