Yes, property taxes on vehicles which are deductible as an itemized deduction on Schedule A are those vehicle taxes based on the value of the vehicle, which the MA excise tax is. Enter the excise tax amount in that field, and it will flow through to your itemized vs. standard deduction calculation (whichever is higher).
