Yes you can. You'll enter it in the Common Expenses section in the box for "Other Taxes", and not the box for real estate taxes. Understand that you can only claim the actual taxes paid. You can not claim any fines, penalties, late fees or interest that you may have paid. You can only claim the actual taxed amount, and that's it. You just have to suck it on the rest, unfortunately.
Now I am curious. A "sales & use tax" on rental property? While I'm not doubting you of course, I've never heard of that on residential rental property. However, I have heard of it on something like short term rentals more commonly referred to as vacation rentals. Is that what you have maybe? I ask, because for short term rentals it's perfectly possible that if conditions are met, you would be reporting this as SCH C income, and not SCH E.
