Hi there! Turbo Tax Premium user for a number of years. Currently using the web version, and most of my Federal is complete, so the details are carrying over from Federal to State.
In the state of California, residents can claim 100% of their State and Local taxes (unlike the $10k federal limit) via an adjustment in Schedule 540 Part II Lines 5a through 5e (see these instructions for reference). However, I cannot for the life of my figure out where to enter this on the California State return. I've searched every section and asked the chatbot, which responds with:
=====
To input property tax for California State in TurboTax, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Tax Home: Start by selecting "Tax Home" from the left menu.
- Find Deductions & Credits: Look for the "Deductions & Credits" section.
- Select Property Taxes: Within this section, find the option for "Property Taxes" or "Real Estate Taxes."
- Enter Your Information: Follow the prompts to enter the amount of property tax you paid.

...but this section doesn't exist. I've checked all sections for deductions, credits, etc, and there is no field anywhere for Property Tax. Where do I enter this? How do I factor in all appropriate deductions from Schedule 540 for my California state taxes?
Note that Premium isn't an option in the product drop down so I've selected Premier as the next closest option.
Appreciate the guidance!
