Can I deduct the taxes paid on purchasing new appliances and furniture in 2021?

[j_furnish]

Sales tax for Washington state in 2021 was 9%. Purchased refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and furniture for $30,000.

Yes, the sales tax on all of that is tax deductible.  However, remember, the limit for deducting sales tax, and other taxes is limited to $10,000.

SALES TAX

You can enter the sales tax you paid in 2021 by going to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid> Sales Tax.  You can enter the sales tax receipts you have saved up all year or you can allow the software to calculate your sales tax deduction based on your income.   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 "major purchases" as a separate entry.

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 as "major purchases"
