The tax laws do change every year. I blew though it but Turbo-Tax has a section for 'other taxes.' If you don't see it mentioned there (or in whatever program you choose) I'd discourage you from claiming it without professional advice.

Good luck!
That interesting because it seems like this doesn't distinguish between a business expense and just a personal expense. Also it is paid out based on individual return, so in my "professional" amateur option it looks like you can. That said last thing I'd do is just assume you can without consulting somebody who knows for sure. That excerpt I included came off the personal non resident return form instructions.
