I leased my car in 2016. Can I deduct tax amount in my leased car monthly payments in 2018?

In 2018 I paid $88.91 every month as a part of my car lease payments. Basically I have my monthly leased car payment broken down into two parts: 'Base payment' and 'Tax payment' (as I see it in the online banking system). Tax payment is $88.91, every month. 

Can I deduct these tax payments? I live in WA and I am going with federal itemized deductions (as suggested by TurboTax). 

Lease inception was at the end of 2016. This question is not about tax deduction at lease signing.
