Washington State taxpayers may deduct sales tax in 2010 and 2011
Washington State residents may deduct state and local general-sales tax on their federal income returns for tax years 2010 and 2011. The sales tax deduction, eliminated in 1986, was restored in 2004, and was extended again in a tax measure signed by President Obama on December 17, 2010.

The deduction is available to taxpayers that itemize deductions, not those who take the standard deduction. The deduction is based on adjusted gross income and number of exemptions claimed. Taxpayers who keep all their receipts can deduct actual sales tax and use tax paid. The IRS has Optional State Sales Tax Tables for taxpayers to know how much sales tax they can deduct without having to keep receipts.

So ken your statement could be BS..course you being a .lawyer...you may not be aware of laws
Buy your logic does this mean that Mr. Cain's plan would give low income a 18% deduction??

...."Paul, In the State of WA, we already have a 9% sales tax so under Cain's plan, we would pay an 18% sales tax. Imagine a low income person with a big family having to pay 18% in sales tax."...
