Sales Tax Update• Most of the 633 pages of the American

Jobs Creation Bill of 2004 dealt with taxes on and tax breaks for businesses. But sandwiched in the tax tome [A book,

especially a large or scholarly one], approved by Congress and signed into law by the president, is the OK for consumers to deduct sales taxes from their federal filings. The deduction will be available on 2004 and 2005 tax returns.

Sales Tax Update• “This tax break isn't an add-on; it

will require you to choose. You must decide whether you want to deduct the sales taxes you paid or your state income tax amounts.”

• “The choice is obvious for residents of the seven states that do not collect state income taxes but do levy state sales taxes: Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming.” http://www.bankrate.com/brm/itax/20041012b1.asp
