Hi, y'all!
I'm filing my tax return, and I have a question.
Last year I bought a new car, and paid $921 for the registration (which is 6% of car value).
Is this deductable, or not?
How about yearly based property tax for my old car?

Thanks in advance.
You have a good night!

Yes. You will need to use the long form and itemize on Schedule A, line 7 "Personal Property Taxes". Keep a copy of those tax receipts with your income tax records.

However, the total of all your itemizations needs to exceed $4,750 (the standard deduction) or else it won't make sense to itemize.
