Deductions & credits
As to your car question:
Please visit Cars and Other Things You Own and Sales Tax in Deductions and Credits- you may be able to deduct some items associated with the car.
- Federal Taxes
- Deductions and Credits
- Scroll down to Cars and Other Things You Own
- Then, scroll down further to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and select Sales Tax to enter sales tax paid on the purchase.
Note: Above deductions are part of your itemized deductions. If you don't claim mortgage interest, real estate taxes, your car deductions will not make a difference on your tax return.
As to your bankruptcy question:
You won't receive a form showing a bankruptcy in itself. And in general, bankruptcy will not have an impact on your income tax return; any debts that are discharged in bankruptcy are excluded from income.
You may receive a form 1099-C from one of the creditors, it will indicate a bankruptcy discharged debt. Please be sure to report the form 1099-C and file form 982, which shows the debt was relieved in bankruptcy (it is recommended to use the Cd/Download product of Turbo Tax if that's the case or to contact one of your local tax professional to help you review your situation).
