car registration fees are deductible in some states but only when they are considered a value tax. That is, that the fee is a tax based on the value of the car. This would also be known as a personal property tax. If you pay a registration fee that includes a flat fee for the privilege of registering a car plus a value added tax on the value of the car, then only the value tax portion is deductible.

No your license plate renewal is not deductible in IL.   (I live in IL, too)...
