If you are itemizing your return and choose to take the sales tax deduction instead of the income tax deduction, then yes, you can use the sale tax from the material and appliances as a deduction.
To enter the taxes you paid select the following:
Itemized expenses include mortgage interest, charitable contributions, state and local taxes (OR SALES TAX) up to $10,000, medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of your AGI and casualty and losses in excess of 10% of you AGI with the first $100 not counting towards the loss. Your health insurance and all medical expenses are only deductible for the amount that is over 7.5% of your AGI. This means if your AGI is $50,000, then the amount that is over $3,750 is deductible
Then your total itemized expenses would need to be greater than your standard deduction below in order to benefit from your sales tax you paid.
The 2023 Standard Deductions are as follows:
Blind or over 65 and MFJ or MFS add $1,500
Single or HOH if blind or over 65 add $1,850
