WHAT IS TOTAL SALE TAX RATE AND WHERE DO I FIND IT ON MY W2?

Sales tax will not be found anywhere on a W-2.  Sales tax is the tax that is imposed by your state or local government on things you purchase in stores, etc.  Look at the receipts from the retail stores or restaurants etc. that you go to  and see your sales tax.

 

SALES TAX

You can enter the sales tax you paid 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
