Yes, you can deduct the sales tax on construction of the garage if all of these conditions apply:
- You're itemizing. You have more total itemized deductions than the standard deduction.
- You're taking the sales tax deduction, as opposed to the state/local income tax deduction.
- The tax rate is equal to your state and local general sales tax rate.
- You (or your contractor acting as your agent) purchased the building materials and paid the tax.
