Question
We bought a vehicle in 2018, but we forgot to claim the sales tax on our 2018 return. Can we claim the tax on our 2019 return or are we required to file an amended tax return form? Would we use Form 1040X?
Answer
No. You can’t claim the deduction this year. To amend your 2018 tax return to claim the sales tax paid you will have to file an amended tax return form. Use Form 1040X.
