No. The state and local tax of $981 has no effect at all since you did not have enough other itemized deductions to exceed your standard deduction. Itemized deductions that go on Schedule A have no effect unless the total of the itemized deductions exceeds your standard deduction of $14,600. The IRA did not go on Schedule A, so it helped you. The state and local tax did not help.
