Didn't see a thread on this yet..... I bought my 2 new 2009 vehicles in January so I don't qualify!!!!


http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=206633,00.html

State and local sales taxes paid on up to $49,500 of the purchase price of qualifying vehicles are deductible.

Qualified motor vehicles generally include new (not used) cars, light trucks, motor homes and motorcycles.

Purchases must occur after Feb. 16, 2009, and before Jan. 1, 2010.

This deduction can be taken regardless of whether or not you itemize other deductions on your tax return.

Taxpayers will claim this deduction when filing their 2009 federal income tax return next year.

The amount of the deduction is phased out for taxpayers whose modified adjusted gross income is between $125,000 and $135,000 for individual filers and between $250,000 and $260,000 for joint filers.

The deduction may not be taken on 2008 tax returns.

When's the next track day
The worst part about this...I bought my car on February 15th. ONE FRIGGEN DAY BEFORE THE CUT OFF.

Such a bummer...I wish I would have known, because I would have just come back to finalize everything the next day. *facepalm*
