Allowable deduction for 2007 tax season
Hello, I live in Texas and I have lived here since 2006.
In 2007 I made certain purchases and would like to know if itemizing them as deductions if allowable.
I purchased a new car in 2007, can the sales tax and the registration fee paid be considered as deduction? Are there any other fee paid during the purchase be considered as deduction?
Also for 2008 tax season, can the renewal of car registration fee be considered as deduction?
I also purchased a new home (model home) in September, 2007. The seller paid the property taxes to me (as a check) for the time I didn't live in the house, that is 1/1/2007 - 8/30/2007. Can I count their payment as a deduction as well? Or only the amount I paid?
Also, since I bought a town home, I pay HOA dues, are there any deductions possible?
Any other first time home buyers deductions possible? I am aware of the points.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
