2. Click Itemized or Standard Deductions in the Federal Quick Q&A Topics menu to expand the category and then click Taxes paid
3. Continue to the screen titled Do you want to enter state and local sales tax information? and click Yes
4. Click Table Amount and then continue to the screen titled What is your local sales tax rate? to enter your rates. Be sure to enter any applicable information on each of the screens in this section.
