If I bought a used car during 2016 do I need to add it in my taxes?

You will not be able to include the purchase of the car on your taxes, however, you may be able to deduct the sales tax if you itemize.  Please see TurboTaxFern's response below.

For what purpose did you buy the car? Do you use it for business?
