Deductions & credits

The rate is the issue and easy to misunderstand. I had tested this earlier and here is the solution for your return. When asked to put in your sales tax rate for your state you must enter it as a percentage and not a decimal.

  • Example: 7.8 versus .07800

Once this is completed your sales tax is calculated correctly and used as a deduction. Please update if your conclusion is different once the change is put in place.
