So with a trust, the tax was not imposed on me. Also, what is the definition of "imposed". I only paid this tax because I chose to buy a non esssential taxable item. I guess that would count.I did a little digging. Look at the last paragraph....

Sorry but I'm thinking no, but then I found the test
Tests To Deduct Any Tax
The following two tests must be met for you to deduct any tax.
- The tax must be imposed on you.
- You must pay the tax during your tax year.
The tax must be imposed on you. In general, you can deduct only taxes imposed on you. Generally, you can deduct property taxes only if you are an owner of the property. If your spouse owns the property and pays the real estate taxes, the taxes are deductible on your spouse's separate return or on your joint return.
You must pay the tax during your tax year. If you are a cash basis taxpayer, you can deduct only those taxes you actually paid during your tax year. If you pay your taxes by check and the check is honored by your financial institution, the day you mail or deliver the check is the date of payment. If you use a pay-by-phone account (such as a credit card or electronic funds withdrawal), the date reported on the statement of the financial institution showing when payment was made is the date of payment. If you contest a tax liability and are a cash basis taxpayer, you can deduct the tax only in the year you actually pay it (or transfer money or other property to provide for satisfaction of the contested liability). See Publication 538, Accounting Periods and Methods, for details.
