Business vehicle

[Ra3fr12n]

I'm no longer taking a business vehicle expense on a schedule c due to working from home, can I deduct my property tax from my registration somewhere else?

It depends. If your vehicle taxes are based on the value of the vehicle, you may claim this cost as an itemized deduction. Some states also allow a deduction for vehicle taxes.

But you must itemize to benefit from property tax deductions. If your standard deduction is more than your itemized deductions (which also includes state and local income tax or sales tax, charitable contributions, and medical expenses), TurboTax automatically gives you the standard deduction so you can get the biggest refund. In this case, your vehicle property taxes would not affect your tax refund.
