Under major deductions...the system is telling me I can not deduct the 8.25% state tax on the laminate flooring and the counter top/tiles..total of $431 in taxes..why

[CherylW · Accepted solution]

Did you try this:

1.  Go to Deductions & Credits. 

2.  Select I'll choose what I work on. 

3.  Choose Estimates and Other Taxes Paid. 

4.  Select Sales Tax.   

As you go through the Sales Tax section, you'll come to a page that says Major Purchases.

Answer Yes, and select Building Materials from the drop-down list.
