It depends. It is not, in and of itself, a deduction. If you used it for work, then as an employee, it would be a work expense. If you itemize and do not take the state income tax deduction, you can take the sales tax you paid.

If you used it for work as a self-employed individual, then it is a business expense. Commuting to and from work is not deductible.
