Sales Tax Deduction
March 9, 2019
Periodically, we will post some tax facts about the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and just tax facts in general.
The tax fact for today is: the general sales tax deduction that can be claimed on Schedule A as an itemized deduction has been capped at $10,000 under the new law for 2018. If you have no other itemized deductions, it will still be beneficial to take the standard which is currently set at $12,000 for single filers.
If you know you'll have other itemized deductions to claim, such as mortgage interest or real or personal property taxes, you may want to keep all your receipts during the year. Another option is to claim your state and local income or property taxes (this is capped at $10,000 as well), but if you choose this option you cannot deduct the general sales taxes.
