Since ...The sales tax deduction is pretty recent.<br /> <br />Since 2007, a person filing a federal income tax form can deduct from their taxable income (not from the taxes they owe) the income tax they paid or sales tax. Since Washington does not have an income tax, we can choose either a standard sales tax deduction based on the tables in the IRS 1040 manual, or the actual amount of sales tax we paid in 2009.<br />The last option means a lot of totaling up receipts . . . very tedious!! :)Mrs. LIAYFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443185048135152187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195142635395855095.post-58202335788400385542010-03-07T17:11:55.813-08:002010-03-07T17:11:55.813-08:00WOW I don't know what is cooler, the fact that...WOW I don't know what is cooler, the fact that you can deduct the sales tax, or as a child being able to jump in a huge pile of receipts!Being us...https://www.blogger.com/profile/06230225611051693046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195142635395855095.post-45987206362062335312010-03-07T16:47:31.201-08:002010-03-07T16:47:31.201-08:00I think there's some blood trickling out of my...I think there's some blood trickling out of my ear.Captain Dumbasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214826608461609241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195142635395855095.post-87422814409846083562010-03-07T16:42:01.335-08:002010-03-07T16:42:01.335-08:00You can do that with your sales tax?
