Cannot remove sales tax, deduction and use state and local income tax deduction instead

To change from the sales taxes paid deduction to the state and local income tax deduction in TurboTax Online:

  1. Open TurboTax Online
  2. Select Tax Home in the left pane
  3. On the  Hi, let's keep working on your taxes! screen, select the dropdown to the right of Deductions & Credits, then select StartContinue, or Pick up where you left off
  4. On the  Your tax breaks page, scroll down and select Edit to the right of Sales Tax
  5. On the  How do you want to enter your sales tax info? page, select Enter All My Receipts
  6. On the  Enter Sales Tax You Paid page, remove any entry for Total Sales Tax Paid, then select Continue
  7. On the  We've Chosen A Deduction for You page, you can select the box next to Change your deduction if that's what you want, then select the bullet below to indicate your preference.  Then select Continue

If the TurboTax Online navigation described above doesn't look like what you're experiencing, see the TurboTax Help article Why does the TurboTax navigation menu look different for me?.
