Sales tax is deducted on Schedule A when you itemize your deductions.  You have the option of deducting sales tax or State and Local Taxes (SALT).  The most that you can deduct is $10,000 ($5,000 if you are filing as Married Filing Separately). 

 

For instructions to enter your sales tax, review the TurboTax Help article Where do I enter my sales taxes paid?

 

For more information, review the TurboTax article How to Write Off Sales Taxes.
