Question

Because I filed the 1040 form I was unable to take a large deduction I believe I was entitled to.  I bought a new motor home in Mi. in 2016 and the sales tax was $5800.00 along with the license fee of $700.00

Is there a way I can recover some of that tax in a special form? I did file a Mi. state form and receive a refund.

    On the federal taxes, until the total of all of your itemized deductions exceeds your standard deduction (and the sales tax deduction is an itemized deduction) it would make absolutely no difference on your federal tax liability.
