Yes, I am aware that "deduction is limited to the general rate tax at your residence in Nevada", The general sales tax rate is 8.27% where I live and paid ~ 8% in CA. But in NV, the sales tax for CARS is just 3.67%, so I thought that I could only enter 3.67% * price of the car (before taxes). That didn't work. I tried all sorts of variations and keep getting the Turbo error "You cannot deduct sales tax paid on this item since the rate was different than the total general rate for this location, 8.27%."
Bottom line: I KNOW THAT! But #1, for a car the rate is not 8.27%; it's 3.67%. #2, if I enter 8.27% of price before taxes, I get the same error.
So - - I think I know what I should do, but Turbo Tax won't allow me.
How do you think I should COMPUTE the number to enter? 3.67% times selling price? 8.27%? Something else?
And in response to another reply, yes, I realize that itemizing is less fruitful than it was before 2018. That having been said, I enter the info and let Turbo total and then compare to standard deduction.
