If You Charge Deductible Items This Year , Take Note Of Some Tricky Rules:

For charges made with a retail store credit card, you are allowed to claim the deduction only in the tax year in which you pay the bill

For transactions with a bank credit card, you can take the deduction in the year that the item was charged, even if you pay the bill next year.
