We had a detached garage built on our property last year.  I see that the major purchases form lists building materials for home renovations/construction, but would our garage be eligible for this sales tax deduction?

Yes, you can deduct the sales tax on home improvement building materials, if all of these conditions apply:

• You're itemizing.
• You're taking the sales tax deduction, as opposed to the state/local income tax deduction.
• The tax rate is equal to your state and local general sales tax rate.
• You (or your contractor acting as your agent) purchased the building materials and paid the tax.
