Can I add that I bought a car after I already marked that I didn't buy a car... I accidentally marked at the beginning that I didn't buy a new car?

I am at the Federal Deductions & Credits section.

Can I add that I bought a car after I already marked that I didn't buy a car... I accidentally marked at the beginning that I didn't buy a new car?

Is the car for personal use or business use?   Are you self-employed?   If you are not using the car for business all you can enter about buying a car is your sales tax.  The sales tax will not make any difference unless you also have other itemized deductions to enter.

 

 

SALES TAX

You can enter the sales tax you paid for the car you purchased in 2022 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
