HOW DO I RECORD THE INTEREST PAID ON MY TRAVEL TRAILER IF I DID NOT RECEIVE A 1098

Same area as a home mortgage loan, but only if the RV meets the requirements of a second home (permanent cooking, toileting and sleeping facilities.  And the trailer is collateral on the loan.

Would you still be eligible for this deduction if the RV is not motorized (ie, a travel trailer / caravan)?

I would like to know the answer as stated above if the RV is a travel trailer that has all qualifications but does not have a motor.

The mortgage or loan interest would be deductible if used to purchase a second home.  The loan MUST be secured by the second home, ie, if you miss a payment the lender can seize the home.   A home must contain permanent sleeping, cooking, and toilet facilities.  A motor is not required. Some travel trailers will qualify, some won't.

How do we determine if they will or will not qualify? Loan is secured by TT. Has all those items listed. Grand Design XLS 21BHE

What if I do not have a 1098 for the interest on the RV?

I see no where in the relevant document where it says anything about a motor. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p936.pdf">https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p936.pdf</a> The only issue is my loan by the bank is called an installment loan but it has all the same structure and arrangements of a mortgage so trying to figure the 1098 issue.

I have pretty much the same question. My RV (travel trailer with bathroom, kitchen, bedrooms, etc.) is financed through my credit union.  They did not send out a 1098 however I can lookup my account on the  CU website and see my interest paid for 2018. Can I just use that number when doing my taxes?

Yes. Print out that information as backup and keep in your tax file. They will not send a 1098. This is the instruction from Turbo tax on how to handle it.

Where do should I input the interest from my RV loan? Same area as my home mortgage interest?

is RV secured loan
