    Sales Tax Deduction for Vehicle Purchases 2009
    Hi all,
    I bought a new car in August 2009.I saw a policy for the sales tax deduction for vechicle purchases in 2009.
    I am a little confused about which forms that I should use.

    Since I am also an international student using F-1 visa before Oct 2009,then after oct-1 my H1B visa took effect. I want to file 1040 NR-EZ and 8843 for $ 5000 tax treaty exemption bettween China and USA.
    Could I put this new car sales tax deduction in 1040 NR-EZ form ?
    Or Do I need to use 1040 NR form and customized this car item?

    Thank you very much.:)

    I feel that even nonresidents are eligible. Since you do not get standard deduction, you can claim it as itemized deduction. You must also complete schedule L (Form 1040). Your U.S. Tax Return: What's New for 2009
