I purchased a car and paid $ 800.00 dollars in sales tax. can I deduct that on taxes

[KenH1 · Accepted solution]

Yes, but only if you are itemizing deductions and are not claiming state income taxes.  Go to:

Federal Taxes>Deductions & Credits> 

Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and click Show More

Click Start next to Sales Tax
