    No.   State and local taxes are an itemized deduction.  You either itemize or use standard deduction--not a combination of both.

    no. Local income taxes is an itemized deduction, for individuals.

    Local income taxes or sales taxes are both itemized deductions so using the Standard Deduction makes those taxes not relevant on your tax return.
