sure there are other factors…but if you are making 250K a year, you will pay MUCH more in taxes than some guy who owns a house, is married and has 3 kids.

there is a big difference between paying more, being in a higher/lower tax bracket (with higher and lower percentages), and having different transactions/assets/family situations that impact your adjusted gross income. clearly, if you have a higher income, you will pay more absolute tax dollars.

my point was to say that the question is so completely vague that there would be no right or wrong answer.

this thread is pretty much pointless.

I saw Sam posted so I thought I would come in here to offer some additional tax advice. Then I realized it would be a waste of additional typing. haha

Can you claim the tax’s on a car you bought 1 and a half years ago that you didnt claim then? Like you do go to the DMV and pay Tax’s, is that something you can claim or no?

the tax’s what? what is the tax in possession of that you would like to claim?

no, you can’t use the taxes paid on a personal auto purchase as a deduction.
