We purchased a brand new car last year in Las Vegas for our daughter. Can we claim the sales tax in Illinois?

The Sales Tax is based on Nevada's sales tax

Yes, the sales tax is deducted on the federal return, so the state of the large purchase is of no concern.

Thanks! I just want to make it clear. I am filing here in Illinois coz I reside here but purchased a car in Las Vegas, NV. So, I can claim the sales tax and the registration fee? Is it tax deductible even though the sales tax is Nevada? Appreciate your response.

Yes.  That is correct.
