I bought a tractor does this count for a major purchase?

Here's what the IRS says:

"Generally, taxpayers may add to the table amount any sales taxes paid on:

  • A motor vehicle, but only up to the amount of tax paid at the general sales tax rate;

  • and an aircraft, boat, home (including mobile or prefabricated), or substantial addition to or major renovation of a home, if the tax rate is the same as the general sales tax rate.

Motor vehicles include cars, motorcycles, motor homes recreational vehicles, sport utility vehicles, trucks, vans and off-road vehicles. Taxpayers may also include any state and local general sales taxes paid for leased motor vehicles."

Is a tractor an "off-road vehicle"?  Your call.
