Please note: You may be able to take an itemized deduction on Schedule A for
any tax related portion of the
registration fee (if you are not itemizing - this won't affect your refund). To
be deductible, the tax portion must be based on the value of the vehicle and be
charged on a yearly basis. Registration, administrative, or emission testing
fees, or tag or plate fees are not deductible
for federal purposes. Often, your registration form will show separate lines
for each item, be sure you deduct only the portion listed as for a vehicle tax.
You may be able to deduct the other fees on your state return.
If you mean to enter sales taxes paid, please see here for how to enter this in the program.
