Unless it has changed for 2018 since many things have changed........If you don't have a state income tax or elect to take the sales tax deduction instead of the state income tax deduction, you can add the new or used car sales tax paid (even if you financed it) to the amount of the sales tax from the IRS table to get your deduction. You have to use Deluxe or higher to enter Itemized Deductions.
Do you think you will have enough to itemize this year? This year the Standard Deduction will be doubling so many people will be switching to the Standard Deduction. And there is a max 10,000 limit of property tax and state taxes "SALT".
