I live in az. Bought a new car this summer. Can I claim the taxes I paid at the time of sale? And where would I enter this on fed return or state? And where?

There are 2 separate types of fees that may be deductible on your federal income tax return; sales tax and your car registration fees. They could both be listed on your new car purchase invoice or you may need to contact your state's Department of Motor Vehicles for a breakdown of your car registration fee information.

Please note that you would only be able to claim these deductions if you itemize so if all your itemized deductions are less than your standard deduction, TurboTax will choose the larger standard deduction on your tax return.

Car Registration Fee - the total amount of your registration fee is not deductible, just the portion that the state charged you for taxes based on the value of your vehicle.

To enter your car registration fees in TurboTax Online or Desktop, please follow these steps:

1. Once you are in your tax return, click on the “Federal Taxes” tab ("Personal" tab in TurboTax Home & Business)
