sales tax

The software is not providing the pulldown list of states from which to select a state where i made a major sales tax purchase. what do it do?

When you work through the sales tax section, you will see a screen that says Places you Lived. On that screen, you need to enter the state you lived in and the dates lived there and the sales tax rate for that state in order to enable you to assign your purchase to that state. That information is used to calculate the sales tax on your major purchase, but it won't appear on your tax return.

I was able to get the software to give me the state. Thank you. However, I don’t believe it is computing my sales tax correctly.

What do you think is being calculated incorrectly? Can you give us more details?
