topic When reporting State and Local taxes paid should the answer consist only of the number on Sched A line 5 or should I report the total on Line 9? in Business & farm https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/business-taxes/discussion/when-reporting-state-and-local-taxes-paid-should-the-answer-consist-only-of-the-number-on-sched-a/01/246697#M8640 <P>TT is asking me if I itemized last year (which I did.) It asked me to look at Schedule A line 5 and report if box 5A or B was checked (A was checked). Then it asked me to report my total 2017 State and local taxes. Do I use the number on line 5 or do I include property taxes and input the number on line 9?&nbsp;</P> Sat, 01 Jun 2019 20:11:48 GMT RMS 2019-06-01T20:11:48Z When reporting State and Local taxes paid should the answer consist only of the number on Sched A line 5 or should I report the total on Line 9? https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/business-taxes/discussion/when-reporting-state-and-local-taxes-paid-should-the-answer-consist-only-of-the-number-on-sched-a/01/246697#M8640 <P>TT is asking me if I itemized last year (which I did.)
