We bought a vehicle in 2019, but we forgot to claim the sales tax on our 2019 return. Can we claim the tax on our 2020 return or are we required to file an amended tax return form? Would we use Form 1040X?
No. You can’t claim the deduction this year. To amend your 2019 tax return to claim the sales tax paid you will have to file an amended tax return form. Use Form 1040X for an amended tax return.
