Deductions & credits

Yes, you can deduct the car registration fee on a leased car - not the total amount, just the portion that the state charged you for taxes based on the value of your vehicle. 

California law is the same as federal law regarding the deduction allowed. Therefore, if you itemized your deductions on your federal return and claimed a deduction for the vehicle license fee, no adjustment to your California return is needed on schedule CA.
