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.
