If you choose to itemize your deductions, Credit Karma Tax will use your state and local income taxes from your W-2 on your Schedule A. You may also deduct your estimated state and local income taxes and any prior year's state or local income taxes if you paid them during the current tax year.
- State and local sales taxes -- If you saved your receipts throughout the year, you can add up the total amount of sales taxes you actually paid and claim that amount with your itemized deductions. If you do not feel like saving and adding receipts, you can choose to use the optional sales tax table.
