Thanks for the reply Rodger but I think you are wrong in your assessment - some boats can be classified as a primary residence and it certainly is a motor vehicle. In my case I purchased a yacht that includes two bed rooms - kitchen and two bathrooms - i will classify my yacht a motored vehicle. I paid 22K use tax on this "vehicle". If that i not legal it certainly is unfair and unjust like much of the tax code that exists today.
A motor vehicle is technically anything that can convey people or cargo, is motor-driven, and does not run on rails. Traditionally, this definition applied to things like cars, trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles. However, most states require boats to be considered as motor vehicles and registered as such.
Even if that is not the case Turbo tax still wrong in how it works for motor vehicles. It disqualifies the vehicle if the rate is lower than the local sales tax - please be careful in your advice especially when it's wrong.
