Deductions & credits

As Texas Roger stated, if you purchased the car for personal use there is no need to answer further.  If you are asking about the car for the sales tax deduction as part of itemized deductions, the following steps should help:

  1. Click on Deductions and Credits
  2. Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes
  3. Click on Sales tax and follow the steps.

Please keep in mind that if you are in a state with a state income tax, the sales tax deduction is usually substantially less than the state and local tax deduction.

 

If you are inquiring about the car for use as a business deduction, below I have enclosed a link to assist you in that regard.

 

I hope the foregoing assists you in determining the best way to deduct your tax.
