Anyone know how to get the NJ sales tax per the chart on worksheet K to flow to the return. For years I have been overriding but either I am missing something or Pro has to fix its links. I only do 2-3 NJ returns a year so I may be missing a box somewhere.
I enter Yes, Yes, No, No for the 4 questions

You mean Sch A in lieu of state income tax deductions? I never do anything and it just flows assuming there are no NJ tax withheld wherever.
Do you have the states' sales tax rates entered in Tools Options Miscellaneous (from inside a return, not in the Home Base?

I am asking about the NJ return. The amount of out of state sales tax per the chart doesn't flow to the NJ return.
Use tax worksheet K has a chart at the bottom based on income. This amount should flow to NJ-1040 page 2 line 51

Why would you want to pay to NJ the amount of out-of-state sales paid to other states BASED ON YOUR INCOME since you didn't pay to NJ when you bought the items? IE, you bought something on-line and the seller didn't collect NJ sales tax because the seller had no nexus to NJ.
As a good taxpayer and CPA, when I bought stuff from Amazonia online and BEFORE they collected NJ sales tax by opening several warehouse in NJ, therefore charging me zero sales tax, I put the amount I owed on line 51. (I bought labels online in 2012, and charged myself $3.88 which I included on my 1040.)
Why not use actual, unless you have tens of thousands of dollars of purchases?

Using the chart, at least here in NY is a safe harbor so they can't audit your online purchases. It is a sales and use tax so you have more purchases than you might think. Ever go on a trip and buy a souvenir that you bring home with you? Most people in NJ travel to NY a lot and do a lot of spending in NY.
When the first IKEA opened in NJ, NY sales tax people sat in the parking lot and noted NY plates with purchases. They all received a nice little letter in the mail.

Right click on the tax calculated box at the bottom and completely read the instructions. You MUST enter something on the lines above.

If I lived in NY and went to NJ and bought something, I would pay NJ sales tax. Done.
You're talking about the tax "cheats" who would tell the NJ vendor, "Don't charge me, I live in NY." (Actually, New Yawk.)
