Deductions & credits

No!  The car seat is not deductible, but the sales tax may be.

 

There are several restrictions to Itemized deductions. 

  • The first is that you must exceed the standard deduction.
  • You can choose to write off either your state and local income tax or sales taxes when itemizing deductions, but not both.
  • The combined total of your sales tax, real estate tax, and personal property tax can not exceed $10,000.
  • Charities and Medical expenses also have restrictions.

Can I claim the sales tax deduction?
