What if the new construction is in a different state? Our new home was constructed in TN, we live in MD most of 2019. We itemize, have not hit the $10k in MD. TN as a 9.75% sales tax and I have over $7k in sales tax for items I paid for outside of the construction contract (over budget) and have receipts showing the taxed amounts. May I deduct those? (Can the $10k be 'split', and will entering the sales tax on 1040 affect how TT pull info for my MD tax return). Certificate of Occupancy for TN home was issued 12/20/19.

Unfortunately, no. There is nothing in 2019 Instructions for Schedule A that addresses sales tax paid in a non-resident state. The Sales Tax worksheet specifically refers to "your state".

Wish we had a 'sobbing' emoticon! I was afraid that would be the answer. That new house is bleeding the life out of us - went over the mortg interest limit, builder slower than molasses and VA involvement is enough to want to just give up!
