No. It is a sales and use tax. If you elect to deduct state
sales taxes instead of state income taxes on Schedule A the
$640 can be added to the amount generated using the IRS
provided table for your state.

Hello,

I purchased a used vehicle in Nov. of '05 and was charged
almost $800.00 by the DMV.

The breakdown of the amount is as follows:

Registration Fee $145.00
Title Fee $10.00
Sales & Use Tax $640.00

Can any of the above fees be deducted on my Federal tax
return on Sch. A? I know that personal property tax is
deductible. For this purpose, is "Sales and Use Tax"
considered to be the same thing?

Thank you,

T.C.
