TT includes my California state income tax deduction in line 3a but the IRS instructions for this line are as pasted below and don't mention state income taxes. I did not opt for the sales tax deduction on Schedule A and did not take the standard deduction. Is TT correct?
Line 3a. Enter the following itemized
deductions (from Schedule A (Form
1040)) on line 3a.
• Medical expenses (line 4).
• General sales taxes (line 5a).
• Real estate taxes for your home
(line 5b).
If you don't itemize deductions, enter
your standard deduction on line 3a.
There is no mention of state income taxes.
