With the exception of collectibles and/or antiques, cars lose value over time. However, if there is a gain or profit from the sale of any vehicle, the gain or profit is taxable and reported as a capital gain on Sch D of IRS form 1040. It is usually taxable on most state and local income tax forms. If the the taxable income reported on the federal return is transferred to the state/local tax form, then there is no need to report it on the state/local return since it is included on the federal return.
