We bought a car in 2004 but forgot to report the sales tax rate for deduction (we live in a high tax rate county). Can we claim it for this year. If so, please let me know the procedure to claim the amount. Thanks
No, there are few, if any, times that you can choose when to take a deduction. Nearly all deductions are taken the year they are paid (except IRA may be deposited up till April
15). You are a candidate for an ammended return. The issue isn't even a year old, so if you use a Tax guy, wait till his rush is over and have him prepare the ammended return. If on your own, I'd just warn you that you can take the higher of sales tax or state tax, so even with the car, you may not exceed your state income tax. You need to check to see if it's worth it.
