- Begin by entering the state general sales taxes from the 2013 Optional State and Certain Local Sales Tax Table. This amount will be recorded on line 1.
- If you lived only in Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, or Rhode Island for all of 2013, skip lines 2 through 5, enter -0- on line 6, and proceed to line 7.
- If not, determine if you lived in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, or West Virginia in 2013. If yes, enter your base local general sales taxes from the 2013 Optional Local Sales Tax Tables on line 2.
- Next, determine if your locality imposed a local general sales tax in 2013. If so, enter your local general sales tax rate on line 3 without the percentage sign.
- If you entered -0- on line 2, skip lines 4 and 5 and move on to line 6. If not, enter your state general sales tax rate on line 4, also omitting the percentage sign.
- On line 5, divide the amount entered on line 3 by the amount on line 4 and enter the result as a decimal rounded to at least three places.
- If you did not enter -0- on line 2, multiply the amount on line 2 by the amount on line 3 and enter this result on line 6.
- On line 7, enter any state and local general sales taxes paid on specified items, referencing the instructions for this section.
- Finally, calculate your deduction for general sales taxes on line 8 by adding the amounts from lines 1, 6, and 7. Ensure you check box b if you are working with multiple worksheets.
