Is the 2009 tax deduction itemized or is it added to the standard deduction?
I purchased a new car and was informed that i could deduct the sales tax. Filed my return but my preparer said that the standard deduction was greater than the sales tax of the vehicle so it didnt make sense to itemized it. I thought this tax deduction was in addition to the standard deduction?

You won’t get many answers here as the category is Taxes > Canada and this is a US question.
Your preparer is wrong: follow the instructions for form 1040 line 40a and Schedule L.
