What if the new construction is in a different state? Our new home is being constructed in TN, we live in MD. We itemize, have not hit the $10k in MD. TN as a 9.75% sales tax and I have over $7k in sales tax for items I paid for outside of the construction contract (over budget) and have receipts showing the taxed amount. May I deduct those? (Can the $10k be 'split', and will it affect my MD tax return). Certificate of Occupancy was issued 12/20/19.
