No. But you may deduct the sales tax you paid.
You are allowed to deduct state & local income taxes OR sales tax; but not both. This provision was added primarily to allow a deduction for people in states without income tax (like TX). Sometimes, with a big purchase (like a car), you may be better off deducting sales tax even if your state has an income tax. If you don't have all your receipts (and hardly anybody does), you are allowed to use tables (built into TT from IRS Pub 600) based on income & exemptions, You can then add major purchase sales tax to the table amounts. Neither is deductible if you use the standard deduction instead of itemizing.
