Deductions & credits

I'm not sure why you are not seeing the option to enter a major purchase. However, most taxpayers don't benefit by deducting sales taxes as you can only do that in lieu of deducting state income taxes, which is usually more. Also, you need to be able to benefit from itemizing your deductions on your federal return to use the sales tax itemized deduction. The basic standard deduction in 2024 is $14,600 for single filers and $29,200 for married filing joint.
