Back when sales taxes were deductible, we started keeping and tallying
receipts and were able to document (and thus deduct) about eight times
what the government allowed as a standard claim, every year. If the
gov't allows $30 for the excise taxes, I wouldn't doubt that 25% of
people could deduct $200 or more with proper documentation.
