While inside the software and working on your return, type personal property taxes 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 personal property taxes. Select that to get to the general area.
Personal property tax is deductible if it is a state or local tax which is:
- Charged on personal property,
- Based only on the value of the personal property, and
- Charged on a yearly basis (even if collected more or less than once per year).
These would be itemized deductions on Schedule A.
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.
