Sales taxes paid on items used in a business or a rental remains with those expenses or assets on the Sch C or Sch E ... they are NOT personal taxes paid entered on a Sch A.

for schedule E items if you capitalize them sales tax is part of the cost. if they're an expense they're part of the expense. they are not separate expense or capital cost items.
