Can sales tax deduction encompass two states?

We have recently constructed our new primary residence in TN (Cert of Occupancy 12/20/19).  TN has a 9.75% sales tax and we have accumulated over $10k in sales tax for items for the new home.  Our MD state tax deduction as less than $6k.  Does the same rule of "one or the other" (state or sales) apply if it involves two states?

Can sales tax deduction encompass two states?

Yes, you can add more than one taxable location into TurboTax.  Here is how:

  1. While in your Tax Home,
  2. Select Search in the top right corner of your screen,
  3. Enter Sales Tax Deduction,
  4. Select Jump to Sales Tax Deduction,
  5. Select Easy Guide,
  6. On this screen you will be able to add all your locations, and in subsequent screens you can add major purchases to the location.

These instructions do not work  on Delux.  I need to input data for two states but when I click Add A Location the app assumes it's another location in the same state!

 

We just did the updates and it still only allows one state!
