By Dr. David Eifrig in Retirement Millionaire:
If you live in the following nine states, don't forget to deduct your sales tax on your federal 1040 income tax return: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.
The IRS allows you to deduct either income taxes or sales tax - whichever is greater. And those nine states don't levy income taxes.
So if you live in any of them, be sure to keep records of any large ticket items you buy. Even if you keep poor records, the IRS has a simple
calculator to help you determine the taxes you've probably paid and can deduct.
