I paid a motor vehicle tax and wheel tax when paying my car registration. Are these taxes deductible in NE?

[MollsBBU · Accepted solution]

Nebraska is a state that taxes based on value, which is deductible. The two taxes listed below are deductible, but the wheel tax you paid is not. Per the Nebraska DMV:

• The Motor Vehicle Tax is assessed on a vehicle at the time of initial registration and annually thereafter until the vehicle reaches 14 years of age or more.
• The Motor Vehicle Fee is based upon the value, weight and use of the vehicle and is adjusted as the vehicle ages.

So, both of these amounts are deductible. (To enter them in to TurboTax, you will navigate to the Federal portion, but the information will also flow to your state return)

1. Click the Federal Taxes tab at the top 
   (or the Personal tab if using Home & Business)
2. Then, Deductions & Credits
3. In the "Cars and Other Things You Own" section, click Show more
4. Next to "Car registration fees", click Start or Revisit/Update
5. Then, follow the interview screens from there
