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.
