Where do I report large purchases like a truck and RV? There is no option to select it when going through the Sales Tax workflow.

Are you using the Online version or the Desktop program?   It probably changed this year but here’s how it was before.  Do you get these steps?

 

Enter Sales Tax under

Federal Taxes or Personal (Home&Business)

Deductions and Credits

Then scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

Sales Tax- click the Start or Update button

 

You might see a screen saying

Sales Tax and Income Tax - Click Continue with Sales Tax

Then click on EasyGuide

 

Enter your State and Dates you lived there

Enter your Sales Tax Rate as a whole number like enter 7% as 7.00 or 7.5% as 7.50

Then enter any major purchases

When you are done it will show you a summary screen of places you lived - click Done

Then it will ask if you had any Nontaxable Income to increase your Sales Tax Deduction Yes or No

You are asked in the sales tax section if you had any "major purchases" or purchased "major items...."  

That is where you enter information about buying a truck, a car, or an RV.

I never received that prompt, which is why I'm asking.  I went through the sales tax section 3-4 times using different options and never got the large purchase question.
