You can take the income tax or the sales tax, whichever is greater. Even if your state does not have an income tax, you may be having local taxes withheld on your W-2 in Boxes 18-20 which would also count towards the income tax itemized deduction.
You can also enter your sales tax information and TurboTax will automatically select the better deduction if you do itemize your deductions:
The $10,000 tax limit applies to all state and local taxes withheld in 2021. In addition to the sales or income tax that you entered, it would include any property taxes paid in 2021. It would also include personal property taxes on vehicles.
Yeah, that's what's weird. I have no state or local withholding on my W2 (first thing I checked). It's the "Easy Guide" that told me I should choose the state and local option. It came up with a huge figure, too. Like $14,000. I cannot figure out where it is getting this number. I will hit the $10K limit either way, but I want my return to be accurate, and not get flagged for using a state and local deduction that I don't have.
