Do I need to manually enter the sales tax for a new vehicle purchase to my (Kansas) state return?

Your sales tax will be entered in the same area you enter personal property vehicle tax in TurboTax.  Please see the TurboTax Help article Where do I enter the personal property tax on my car? 

 

Be aware that this will only affect you if you itemize your deductions. Also, The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act implemented a $10,000 limit on state and local tax deductions to $10,000 for Married Filing Jointly. 

     

The standard deductions for 2022 are:    

Single; Married Filing Separately - $12,950    

Married Filing Jointly; Qualifying Widow(er) - $25,900    

Head of Household - $19,400    

     

To make a difference, you would have to have itemized deductions greater than the standard deduction for the tax to count.    

      

You may benefit from itemizing your deductions on Schedule A if you:     

• Do not qualify for the standard deduction, or the amount you can claim is limited,     
• Had large out-of-pocket medical and dental expenses during the year,     
• Paid interest and taxes on your home,     
• Made contributions to qualified charities, or     
• Have total itemized deductions that are more than the standard deduction to which you otherwise are entitled.
