I bought a new car. Can I deduct the sales tax?
It depends. First, you must itemize to do so. Then, you must choose to deduct state and local sales tax rather than state and local income taxes. If you make this choice, you can add the sales tax on the car to the amount of sales tax that the IRS allows for your household size and income.

Estimated tax
Advance payment of current tax liability based either on wage withholdings or installment payments of your estimated tax liability. To avoid penalties, you generally must pay to the IRS either 90% of your final tax liability, or either 100% or 110% of the prior year’s tax liability, depending on your adjusted gross income.
