No, not from a utility bill. School taxes that are included in your property tax bill are deductible as an itemized deduction on your federal return. You can deduct the taxes if they're based on the assessed value of the property you own for personal use. When claiming property tax deductions, don't include:
- Taxes you paid on property you don't own
- Taxes for rental or business property (instead of entering them in the Deductions & Credits section, you'll claim them as expenses when you get to the rental or business section)
- Taxes for local improvements, like streets or sidewalks
- School taxes, unless they're based on the assessed value of your property
- Taxes for trash collection, libraries, or anything else not directly related to assessed property value
- Taxes on foreign property (tax reform has suspended this deduction for tax years 2018 through 2025)
