Yes they are and you can also add big ticket items such as a car to the tables provided for your use.

Income taxes (state) have always been deductible. For the last few years, you have been given the choice between claiming state/local income taxes or sales taxes - but not both. This usually works out when you have purchased a big ticket item such as a new car. However, in order to get the deduction, you have to itemize.
