If you use the standard mileage rate for a year, you cannot deduct your actual car expenses for that year. You cannot deduct depreciation, lease payments, maintenance and repairs, gasoline (including gasoline taxes), oil, insurance, or vehicle registration fees.
The IRS allows you to deduct sales tax you paid on a car purchase by itemizing on Schedule A on Form 1040. If you don't itemize, you can't deduct sales tax. You may deduct the tax whether it's charged on a new or used car, and whether you buy from a car dealer or a private party.
