You can enter SALES tax you paid for your car.

You can enter the sales tax you paid for the car you purchased in 2023 by going to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid> Sales Tax. You will be asked if you paid sales tax on a major purchase, and you will be able to enter the sales tax you paid for your new vehicle.

Sales tax is an itemized deduction. “Major purchases” that you can enter for the sales tax deduction include:

Motor Vehicles (cars, trucks, motor homes, RV’s, sport utility vehicles and off-road vehicles

Aircraft or boats

Mobile homes

Manufactured housing

Building materials for major home improvements

You cannot deduct: furniture, jewelry, home electronics such as TV’s or computers

Sales tax on a car is an itemized deduction. Unless all of your itemized deductions add up to more than the standard deduction for your filing status, you will not get a tax break for the sales tax deduction. Itemized deductions include mortgage interest, medical expenses more than 7.5% of your AGI, sales or state income taxes and property taxes up to $10,000 total, and gifts to charity. They are reported on Schedule A.
