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.

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
