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
You may be able to get a tax deduction for the sales tax paid on your major purchase. You will see that in the Deductions and Credits section, then Estimates and Other Taxes Paid, then Sales Tax. However, you will only benefit from deducting sales taxes if they are more than your state income taxes, as you can't deduct both. Also, you need to be able to benefit from itemizing your deductions for the sales tax deduction to benefit you.
