As part of my home improvement, I purchased the following items I am unsure would qualify: 1. New dishwasher due to poor contractor planning. With new flooring, the old dishwasher would not fit height wise in space, so had to get an ADA unit. 2. We installed an electric fireplace insert to use, as wood burning is generally prohibited. 3. bathroom fixtures and cabinetry...We replaced all shower/toilets/vanities/and faucets. 4. Doors...we replaced all interior and exterior doors.

   This year, it seems that TurboTax Premier has made it almost impossible to enter my taxes.     I do NOT electronically transfer - ever.       Trying to enter the interest, dividends etc was extremely labor intensive.     Some of continuing software problems still there along with a large number of new ones (ie NYS Turbotax figures at 17.8% --- I am at 6.85% ---- I was told they "know" and I should mail in my taxes --??? No response when I requested they FIX NYS tax calculation)      Additionally, charitable contribution was a nightmare.  For EVERY donation ITEM, I had to select what I was donating, put in the date (EVERY ITEM -- even when I donated 50!!!), dollar amount AND then describe it and choose a valuation method.  EXCEPT, the screens were so slow, I had to wait for each option to come up.      Are others finding this year incredibly frustrating????    

It says would you like to choose the larger deduction of state and local $0 or sales tax _______. Whether I select "choose the larger" or "chose sales tax", they both just continue on without including any amount since the sales tax is showing as nothing (not zero, there is just nothing shown).
