Federal: No problem.

State: If your state's (or locality's) rate is higher, then
you might have a problem - in that you may owe the
difference between the rates as additional sales tax to your
state/locality of residence. If you didn't pay that
difference until after January 1, then you cannot count it
(but count it in the next year).

theoretically yes you can.

Now, if the traveler left his wife at home with credit cards
, how would you measure any differential in order to adjust
the table amounts?

(please to report that my first calculation of said
deduction involved two states, TX and GA (part year), and
thus resulted in a higher sales tax deduction. And I
didn't even have to factor anything in regarding the fact GA
exempts food purchased in grocery stores.

If you have actual receipts, yes.

If you resided in several states, and that sounds like where
you're headed, then counting the number of days is what it
looks like what you do to use the tables.

Default Sales Tax deduction for all states?

When calculating your sales tax deduction using actual
receipts, can you deduct sales tax paid outside your home
state. Travelled quite a bit last year and paid sales taxes
in several states.

Thanks so much for your help.
