TurboTax can't file my taxes until Form 8960 and Form 1040, Schedule A Itemized deductions are ready and available! These are forms within TT 2019 and were expected in Jan 2020. Where are they?

Please help me with this deduction for state sales tax. I can not get to the place it will allow me to enter an amount. I have receipts for all my sales tax and also purchased a new car, which I want to add extra.

SALES TAX

You can enter the sales tax you paid for the car you purchased in 2019 by going to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid> Sales Tax. You will be asked if you paid sales tax on a major purchase, and you will be able to enter the sales tax you paid for your new vehicle.

Sales tax is an itemized deduction. If your state has a state income tax, you have to choose between using the deduction for your state tax paid OR the sales tax deduction, whichever is higher. The TT process will suggest one or the other as you prepare your return.

“Major purchases” that you can enter for the sales tax deduction include:

Motor Vehicles (cars, trucks, motor homes, RV’s, sport utility vehicles and off-road vehicles

Aircraft or boats

Mobile homes

Manufactured housing

Building materials for major home improvements

You cannot deduct: furniture, jewelry, home electronics such as TV’s or computers
