TurboTax
will ask the questions to determine if entering the sales tax paid to will
improve your refund. It will depend if you itemize your deductions
and if you pay state income taxes. You can select to use either
state income tax or sales tax and which is most beneficial depends on the state
where you live. You will enter the information in the federal portion of the
return and if you have a state return, it will pull the information from the
federal. (Note, it is sales tax paid, not collected.)
