Can state sales tax be deducted from your taxes?

According to the IRS, if you itemize deductions on your federal return you may deduct either state and local incometaxes or state and local sales taxes. You get to choose which to deduct, but you may not deduct both, and you can't deduct either unless you itemize deductions.Chances are pretty good that unless your state has low income tax rates and fairly high sales tax rates, you'll be better off deducting the income taxes instead, but you do have the option.

Are there federal deductions for sales tax on new cars?

Not exactly. Starting a few years ago, all were given the choice of deducting EITHER state income tax paid, OR state sales tax paid. Normally, if you live in a state with income tax, it is most beneficial to use that as your deduction...but if you live in a state with no income tax - the sales tax works...and when you have paid a lot of sales tax in a year...perhaps because of car, boat, etc purchases...it can be the better way in either case. AND - as part of the incentive programs in effect now - 2009 - there is a special allowance for deducting sales tax on new cars...with a number of restrictions.

When do you pay sales tax?

Typically sales tax is paid at the point of sale, hence the name. But depending on the state there are exceptions. If you buy goods from outside the state, and do not pay sales tax (internet sales!), you need to remit sales tax to your state. Most of the state income tax forms have a method provided for paying sales tax along with the state income tax.
