FL: has no state income taxes so you will not have a FL state return filing.
For federal income taxes, however, the total amount of your registration fee
is not deductible, just the portion that
the state charged you for taxes based on the value of your vehicle. If you need
help finding this on your bill, contact your state's Department of Motor
Vehicles. (Usually the
deductible tax would be the one based on the value of your car and may be
titled excise or personal property tax).
Also, you will only
get this deductible portion if you itemize your tax return. You report your
itemized deductions on Schedule A. If you take the itemized deductions, you
will not be able to take the standard deduction. You can't take
both so the TurboTax program will choose the one that lowers your
overall tax liability
