Tax Year Prior to 2020: Would re registering your car count for car registration fees in the tax deductions?

[KarenL2]

Yes, if you had to re-register for some reason (such as a move to a new state), it can be included.  However, for personal use, you can only deduct the registration fees you pay each year that are the portion based on the value of the vehicle and paid annually.  

If you itemize deductions on Schedule A you can take a deduction for state and local income tax paid   or   state sales tax paid. You can compute the amount of sales tax by adding up your receipts for the year or by using a table provided by the IRS.   In addition to this base amount you can deduct sales tax paid on large purchases such as a car, truck, boat, etc.  

To get to the area to enter it: While inside the software and working on your return , type property taxes - auto in the Search at the top of the screen (you may see a magnifying glass there).  There will be a popup that says Jump to property taxes - auto.  Select that to get to the general area.
