Can I deduct if I paid for the registration of my car in 2020 but the receipt shows the customer as my father's name. Should I bother entering this information in?

As long as you show you have proof that you paid the registration fee, you can deduct it.

However, you must itemize to benefit from registration fee deductions. If your standard deduction is more than your itemized deductions (which also includes state and local income tax or sales tax, charitable contributions, and medical expenses, etc.), TurboTax will automatically give you the standard deduction so you can get the biggest refund.

Enter the registration fees in case your state allows a deduction.
