Sales tax deduction and 1099-misc

[David586]

Hi there!

In filing my taxes with you again, for 2022, I was not asked for my non-taxed income for the sales tax deduction.

I also received a 1099-misc for the total yearly amount I receive from my old County job for NOT using their medical benefit.  It's only $1800 a year, but so I will have to pay taxes on this each year?

Thank you for your help!

Thank you for contacting me.

 In the past years TurboTax asked me about the sales tax, but I didn't see it this year.   I just tried to file too quickly and ended up paying in $8,000, even though I got back $2600.  I did do a search on sales tax, but found nothing.   I should have called you guys.  I retired in June and was paid out all my vacation and sick time, which brought me back to my normal income...however, they took out 24% off the top.

Thanx again!
