Can I claim my car taxes on my return?

There are several ways owning a car can benefit you. If you purchased one in 2022, you can claim the sales tax if you itemize. If you pay a registration fee or personal property tax on the car, it depends which state you live in. Please see this link:

Finally, if you ohave a business and use your vehicle, you can expense all or some of your costs.

Can I claim my car taxes on my return?

If you purchase a new car, you can deduct the sales tax if you're itemizing  your deductions. You get to choose between deducting your state and local income taxes or your state and local sales taxes.

Where do I enter the sales tax on my car?

For car registration fees:

When you itemize your deduction, you can deduct only the portion of the fee that’s based on your vehicle’s value.

However, not all states have value-based registration fees. Refer to the following link for information related to your specific situation:
