No.  Sales tax on major appliances is not treated as a "major purchase" for the sales tax deduction (even if it feels like one).  

 

SALES TAX

You can enter the sales tax you paid for the car you purchased in 2022 by going to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid> Sales Tax.  You will be asked if you paid sales tax on a major purchase, and you will be able to enter the sales tax you paid for your new vehicle. 

 

 

Sales tax is an itemized deduction. “Major purchases” that you can enter for the sales tax deduction include:

Motor Vehicles (cars, trucks, motor homes, RV’s, sport utility vehicles and off-road vehicles

Aircraft or boats

Mobile homes

Manufactured housing

Building materials for major home improvements

 

 

You cannot deduct: furniture, jewelry, home electronics such as TV’s or computers

you may be able to use the actual expense method per schedule A instructions

Actual Expenses Generally, you can deduct the actual state and local general sales taxes (including
compensating use taxes) you paid in 2022 if the tax rate was the same as the general sales tax rate. You must keep your actual receipts showing general sales taxes paid to use this method.
