You probably can, but it's usually not worth the trouble. First of all, you must itemize; if your total itemized deductions are less than your standard deduction (very common) there's no benefit in itemizing. Then, you must elect EITHER state & local sales taxes paid OR state income taxes paid; since Minnesota has a state income tax, the latter is more beneficial for most people. (The sales tax deduction is aimed at states without an income tax, like Texas or Florida.) And only regular state & local sales taxes qualify; "sin" taxes do not.
You can tally up sales taxes on all your receipts for the year, but for most people it's not worth the hassle. The IRS allows you to estimate your sales taxes from a table based on your income (with add-ons for certain big-ticket items such as cars); if you elect that deduction, TurboTax will let you either use the table & add-ons or enter your actual sales taxes from all your receipts.
Sales tax deductions have gotten a lot of press this last year because certain websites have overhyped the 2015 law making the sales tax election permanent (before then Congress had reauthorized it annually). Yes it's possible to claim your sales tax as an itemized deduction, but the limitations on doing that make it nowhere near the "$500 billion rebate" (or whatever) those sites claim. (Not to mention it's a deduction, NOT a tax credit; at most you'll only get back a percentage of what you paid.)
