Taxes Paid

The following taxes are deductible:
  • State and Local Income Tax
    If you entered state or local tax withholdings on the W-2 or 1099 screens, we'll automatically calculate this for you.

  • State Filing Payments
    If you had a state or local tax balance due on your 2024 state or local tax return(s) (in other words, if you did NOT get a state refund), you can deduct the tax that you paid in 2025 when you filed your state or local tax return(s).

  • Sales Tax
    If you didn't have any state or local income tax or live in a state where there is no state income tax, you may be able to deduct sales tax that you paid.

    If the amount of sales tax paid is more than your state and local income taxes combined, we will use the sales tax amount as your itemized deduction instead of your state and local income taxes.

  • Estimated Tax Payments
    This includes any state or local taxes that you paid in 2025 that were not reported on a W-2 or 1099.

  • Personal Property Tax
    This includes taxes that are based on the value of your personal property such as autos, R.V.s, and boats.

  • Other Deductible Tax
    This includes any deductible tax that you paid that is not part of the other categories.
The overall limit in 2025 as an individual for your deduction of state and local income, general sales, and property taxes is limited to a combined total deduction of $40,000 ($20,000 if married filing separately).
