Thanks for the reply. It's the huge disparity in how the deduction is applied. Ignore the std. sales tax deduction... If I use only what I paid in taxes on the vehicle for a sales tax deduction, my tax burden is greater than 300 less than if I use the standard deduction and then itemize the vehicle tax. It's worth only an additional 24$.TX vehicle tax is 6.25. Local Dallas rates 8.25.
