A general sales tax is a tax imposed at one rate on retail sales of a broad range of items. A taxpayer makes the election by checking box 5a on Schedule A of Form 1040. If you elect to deduct state and local general sales taxes, you can use either your actual expenses or the optional sales tax tables.
Your deduction for state and local income, sales, and property taxes is limited to a combined total deduction. The limit is $10,000 - $5,000 if married filing separately. You cannot deduct anything above this amount.
