I itemize deductions, no state tax state will sales tax be automatically posted using sales tax table

If you are itemizing and want to use the sales tax deduction, you need to go to the sales tax section and enter information---it will not be automatic.

SALES TAX

You can enter the sales tax you paid in 2025 by going to

Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid> Sales Tax.

Sales tax is an itemized deduction. Unless you have enough other itemized deductions to exceed your standard deduction the sales tax will have no effect on your tax due or refund.

“Major purchases” that you can enter for the sales tax deduction include:

Motor Vehicles (cars, trucks, motor homes, RV’s, sport utility vehicles and off-road vehicles

Aircraft or boats

Mobile homes

Manufactured housing

Building materials for major home improvements

You cannot deduct: furniture, jewelry, home electronics such as TV’s or computers
