I bought a new car in 2022. I want to enter the sales tax but the "Easy Guide" isn't giving me the option. How do I enter it?

The first time I entered the Sales Tax section it asked me if I had made any major purchases.  I didn't have the paperwork from the dealership at the time, so I backed out of that section.  Now I can't get back to the screen where it asks for the sales tax on major purchases.

In TurboTax Online: 

 

Under Deductions and Credits, select Estimates and Other Taxes Paid (which mentions "sales taxes for items like cars"). 

 

Then, select Sales Tax and follow the prompts.

I figured it out.  It only steps you through the questions when you enter the state you live in.  I had already entered Washington state the first time I went into that section, so it wasn't prompting me with the question about major purchases.  So I deleted WA state, then reentered it, and it stepped me through the questions including major purchases.
