It depends on if you took the Standard Deduction or Itemized deductions on your 2017 return...and your tax bracket. For example, if you are in the 15% tax bracket and Itemized deductions, it's possible you could get a refund of 15% of that sales tax. However, this only works IF on the Schedule A (Itemized Deductions) you claimed sales tax and not the state "income" tax deduction (line 5). I would suggest looking at your tax return to confirm you itemized on Schedule A, then look at line 5 of that form and see what would be higher...sales tax or income tax. Hope that helps with your decision.
