Deductions & credits
Can I count appliances (refrigerator, washer/dryer) and furniture as "Major Purchases" toward the sales tax deduction? Or are there only specific categories that qualify?
Thanks

But there IS another option. the major items list is things that you can add to the standard table. If you can show that the actual sales tax exceeds the table then you can use that.

Why does TT claim only "large purchases" qualify? If you read instructions for schedule A, you will see that IRS does not limit sales tax deduction only to large purchases. "Generally, you can deduct the actual
state and local general sales taxes (including compensating use taxes) you paid in 2016 if the tax rate was the same as the general sales tax rate. However, sales taxes on food, clothing, medical supplies, and motor vehicles are deductible as a general sales tax even if the tax rate was less than the general sales tax rate."
