TaxAct^® does not support the entry of more than five states in Schedule A (Form 1040) Itemized Deductions.

If you have more than five states to enter, you will need to manually calculate each state, then enter one total.

To manually calculate the tax, use the worksheet and table in the instructions for Schedule A, or use the calculator on the IRS website.
