State and local taxes (Schedule A, Line 5a)
Why is Turbotax using my State Estimated taxes paid in this box instead of using the General Sales taxes for my state.
Yes, my quarterlies will be much higher than the General sales taxes for my state - but why is it using Estimated taxes as opposed, for instance, to the State taxes I paid earlier this year on my 2020 return - like real taxes, like the property tax on Line 5b.
I.E. The 5a verbiage says, "may include either income taxes or . . . ", but it doesn't say "may include estimated income taxes".
And yes, it does max out the SALT at 10K, but I just want to understand what is going on.
