It depends on your state and if they use the value of the vehicle as part of the registration.

Is car registration deductible?

Car registration NO  but if there is a portion based on the value of the item then that  Personal Property tax  part could be deductible  IF   you itemize deductions. 

 

As long as the personal property tax is based on the value of the vehicle, then it would be deductible on your return.  

 

Currently only the following states charge a fee based on the vehicle value:

 

Alabama

Arizona

Arkansas

California

Colorado

Iowa

Indiana

Kentucky

Louisiana

Massachusetts

Michigan

Minnesota

Mississippi

Missouri

Montana

Nebraska

Nevada

New Hampshire

North Carolina 

South Carolina

Washington

Wyoming
