To enter in TurboTax:

  1. Go to Federal > Deductions & Credits > Estimates and Other Taxes Paid > Sales Tax.
  2. Use the "Easy Guide" or similar prompts. TurboTax will allow you to add multiple locations.
  3. Enter the specific dates you lived in South Carolina and then select "Add a Location" to enter the dates for Florida.

 TurboTax will automatically choose the higher value between your State and Local Income Tax (common in South Carolina) or your State and Local Sales Tax (common in Florida) to maximize your deduction.  Note: Sales tax is an itemized deduction. It only benefits you if your total itemized deductions exceed your Standard Deduction
