ADDING MAJOR PURCHASE

[VolvoGirl]

For what?  For the Sales Tax deduction.  If you want to itemize deductions you have to upgrade to Deluxe.  If you itemize your deductions you can either take the state and local SALES TAX deduction OR the state and local INCOME TAX deduction whichever is greater. There are a couple items like car sales tax you can add to the general sales tax table. That is mainly for people who live in a state without a state income tax.
