Screen 25 > Taxes > Put a 2 in the first box. This will check the box on 5a (If there is sales tax). If you do not have a sales tax, scroll down a bit and put a 1 in for Actual Taxes Paid (Let's assume you crossed the border and paid some tax in a neighboring state (or make up your own story))

I'm much more concerned at the state level with so many different sets of rules in play. In some states you'll get a taxpayer favorable result by choosing to deduct sales taxes instead of income taxes in these situations. This is something that's rarely been an issue in the past, but this year I think we should be looking at different situations on a state-by-state basis. I doubt any tax software is going to be able to analyze this for us.

I agree with Rick that forcing the sales tax deduction might be better. I'd have to run the math to see when that would help.
