Yes, you can.

To enter sales tax:

Federal Taxes

Deductions and Credits

Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

Sales Tax

Note: For most people, the state and local income taxes paid usually gives them the higher deduction, but for others, the sales tax deduction may give them a greater benefit, for example:

Residents of states that don't collect state and local income tax (Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming)
Taxpayers who made major purchases during the tax year that were subject to sales tax (we're talking major as in cars, boats, airplanes, RVs, etc.)
Residents of states with a high sales tax rate.

If you meticulously keep all your sales receipts, you can add up the taxes to get a total.

If you are not itemizing your deductions, the amount will not impact your federal tax return.
