Yes for now. The sales tax is part of Schedule A line 5 of the form. I think you can use either sales tax paid or state tax withheld but not both. I suspect the sales tax option is for tax payers from states that do not have income tax and rely on sales taxes such as Texas, Florida and Tennessee to fund the state.

Also check for potential deductions for state and local personal property tax on the coach and interest if you financed the purchase. If you are not sure check with a licensed tax preparer. The government want’s their tribute and has rather nasty ways of getting it from you. Just ask Al Capone.
