Sales Tax vs Standard Deduction

[pk919]

Hello, in the turbo tax deluxe version - Turbo Tax is suggesting $1600 of writeoff based on EasyGuide option for Texas and my income. I have no other deductions in the Federal Taxes --> Deductions and Credits section. My question is if only sales tax deduction is entered in this section, will it count as itemized deduction and invalidate my standard deduction of $12400 for single filing? Summary shows $12530 as total deduction, but still want to confirm as I have read that itemizing deduction invalidates standard deduction. Thank you in advance.

TurboTax is designed for you to list all your itemized deductions, and then it will automatically choose the higher of standard or itemized.  Just listing your sales tax won’t cancel your standard deduction unless you had other itemized deductions (mortgage interest, charity donations) that total more than the standard.

Thank you @Opus 17 . Further pages did indeed show standard deduction as the final deduction.
