I am a resident of Nebraska. Our state law reduces the state itemized deduction by the amount of total state income taxes, even though the federal deduction is limited to $10,000. I want to use sales taxes, even though it slightly reduces my federal deduction, as it saves more in state taxes. But Turbo Tax 2020 won't let me use the sales tax, apparently because it would slightly increase my federal taxes. How can I override the use of state income tax and use state sales taxes for my federal deduction?
