I live in MA and should be able to deduct my excise taxes. I can not find where on either the Fed or State tax I would add those deductions.

How deduct excise tax, I meet both criteria.

This is posted to your Federal return, and carried over to Massachusetts.

 

It is included in:

  1. Deductions & Credits
  2. Scroll down to Cars and Other Things You Own
  3. Select Car Registration Fees
  4. Enter 
    1. Vehicle Make & Model
    2. Excise tax amount
  5. If you click the Learn More button it says
  6. "The total amount of your registration fee isn't deductible, just the portion that the state charged you for taxes based on the value of your vehicle."
