I bought my sister a car. can i cliam any of the expenses on my taxes

If your sister is the legal owner of the vehicle, it is considered a gift from you and therefore non deductible.

If you are the legal owner, you may be able to deduct car registration fees and sales taxes if you itemize your deductions for 2016.

To itemize you would need to upgrade to TurboTax Deluxe.
