Most of your AGI is used to pay for things that are NOT subject to Sales Tax.  The IRS isn't going to give you a sales tax deduction for things that you don't pay sales tax.

 

You don't pay sales tax on your mortgage/rent, real estate tax, income tax, charitable contributions, etc.  State laws vary, but often some food, clothing, and many other things are not subject to sales tax.
