Get your taxes done using TurboTax

As fanfare said earlier, excess sales tax is lost if you're already reporting more than $10,000 for the SALT deduction.

 

However, if you paid sales tax as part of the renovation, your receipt should have that tax broken out as a separate line item. In most cases, only the materials are subject to sales tax. But you need proof if you report the tax on your return.
