Item D under the "2016 Federal Form 1040 Information SMART Worksheet states "Enter the Deduction for general sales tax that could have been taken in 2016". In 2015 I used the Sales Tax Deduction and in 2016 I used the State Refund Deduction....TT picked up the amount of my 2016 Refund correctly but TT did not complete the Item D which ask for the possible 2016 Sales Tax deduction that I could have elected to take, if I had wanted to. I looked on the IRS 2016 Sales Tax Tables and arrived at a correct amount to place into Item D .... However, as it increased our Federal Refund amount by $200 (+-) it made me nervous....so I need to know if I was correct in completing Item D with the amount from the IRS 2016 Sales Tax Table. Thanks!!

Turbo Tax tries to recapture the benefit you got in 2016 by taking the state income tax deduction.
If you didn't take the sales tax deduction in 2016, leave line D blank.
