Help! I don't know what to enter for Locality Group (1,2 or 3) This was flagged by Turbotax on a review of my state sales tax deduction.

I'm in Biloxi, Mississippi, 39532.  I used the calculator but didn't get my Locality Group.  What should I do next?

Where do I find my Locality Group Number? Not knowing this prevents me from e-filing.

What locality for Wheaton?

[AmyC]

What state are you in? @Ray11B

[Ray11B]

Sorry, Winfield, Illinois

[KathrynG3]

The locality number will depend on your specifics. For Winfield, Illinois, it appears to be Locality 1.

To find your Locality Group Number, see page 18 of the Form 1040 Schedule A instructions which lists localities by state.

Correspond your locality of 1, 2, or 3 to match what is listed of A, B, or C, respectively. For Illinois, it appears that A corresponds to 1 and B corresponds to 2. 

To confirm the amount, use the IRS Sales Tax Assistant to enter your particular details. The IRS Sales Tax Assistant page link provides an overview.

Thanks!   I was going a little nuts as TT was computing a little less than what the IRS Sales Tax Assistance was coming up with.    My Village has a 3.5% local tax but the IRS is showing 4%    I finally caught it at the bottom where I saw my zip code is averaged in with other zip codes hence the higher percent.     I left it at 3.5% in TT.   ($1095 me VS $1150 IRS)

Read above.   I live in Schaumburg Illinois , zipcode 60193. What locality group am I in?

[Ray11B]

The way I read the rule; Everybody is group 1 except Aurora. There was no explanation why.

[jdelmonte]

I would say 'b' as 'a' is only for Aurora and I do not believe 'c' is even applicable.
