Your suspicions are correct. You use actual or you use the
tables in Pub 600. If you use the tables, you would use both
the Texas & Vermont tables.

No, You can prorate the TX and VT sales tax deductions for
the period of time you were a resident of each state, but
the final decision is whether to take the total sales tax
deduction or the total state income tax deduction. You can't
mix and match.

I moved from Texas last year (no income tax state) to
Vermont (income tax state). Can I prorate the Texas sales
tax deduction for the time I lived in Texas and deduct the
Texas sales tax? Then deduct the actual Vermont income tax I
paid?

I suspect not but it does not hurt to ask.

Thanks
Marty
