Hi,
A taxpayer has significant state taxes paid that end in line 3a of Form 1116, although per the form's instructions, only the following is included in that line:
"Medical expenses (line 4).
General sales taxes (line 5).
Real estate taxes for your home (line 6)."

The taxpayer did not have sales tax deduction, due to higher state taxes. Is that the reason its taken what is in line 5 of Schedule A, although is is not sales tax?
Is that a software override or state tax deducted, should be in line 3a?
many thanks
