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.

Taxpayers generally may rely on published revenue rulings in determining the tax treatment of their own transactions that arise out of similar facts and circumstances.
