How do I figure my 2021 total state and local sales tax in Seattle, WA?

[LenaH]

The minimum combined sales tax rate for Seattle, Washington is 10.25%. This is the total of state, county and city sales tax rates. 

To enter into TurboTax, please follow the instructions below:

1. Open or continue your return
2. Search for sales tax and select the Jump to link in the search results
3. When asked how you want to enter your sales tax info:
   • Choose EasyGuide if you want us to walk you through it
   • Choose Enter All My Receipts if you’ve saved all of your receipts and can give the grand total
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

If you itemize your deductions, you can take the sales tax deduction. For tax years 2018 through 2025, the SALT deduction (which includes sales tax) is capped at $10,000. That means if the combined total of your sales tax, real estate tax, and personal property tax amounts to $15,000, you can only deduct $10,000 maximum.
