Deductions & credits

The IRS only allows that portion of a state registration fee that is based on the value of the vehicle to be included toward your other itemized deductions. 

 

For Massachusetts registered vehicles, the amount eligible for the vehicle registration fee deduction is simply the excise tax itself, not the whole amount of the cost of registration.

 

To report vehicle registration fees, follow these steps.

  • Down the left side of the screen, click Federal.
  • Across the top of the screen, click Deductions & credits.
  • Scroll down to Car registration fees.  Click Start/Edit.
