Did the tax laws change so that you can down deduct real estate property tax and also vehicle registration?

[DoninGA]

Real estate property taxes paid and vehicle registration fees paid, based on the value of the vehicle, are itemized deductions reported on Schedule A.

The total of all your itemized deductions on Schedule A must be greater than the standard deduction for your filing status to have any tax benefit.

Single - $15.750 add $2,000 if age 65 or older

The SALT cap was raised from $10K to $40K.    There are only a few states in which you can use vehicle registration as a federal deduction, even if you are itemizing deductions.
