Oregon itemized deductions

Does Oregon allow us to take a deductions for Personal Property taxes from a park model (mobile home) in Arizona on our Oregon Itemized return? We are Oregon residents and go to Arizona for a few months during the winter. Arizona has you register the park model with motor vehicles, we get a title not a deed, we don't own the land, just lease it in a RV park.

The federal amount for this transfers to the Oregon return automatically, just questioning if its allowable? Looked at OR-A instructions and it doesn't say anything.

 

Thank you

    Yes, you can deduct ad valorem taxes in Oregon, the same as on your federal tax return. The tax must be based on the value of the property to be allowable. You can learn more about the deduction in this IRS article.

    Thanks for responding, I saw the info you provided and I agree. I also take a credit for taxes on our Oregon return for the state of New Mexico, from a rental property.

    So taking a different state (Arizona) personal property tax fro a park model/mobile home as stated in my original post won't create a problem with the credit for New Mexico taxes?

    Thanks

    I forgot to ask: Do you file in Oregon?

    Do you provide extra info to the state of Oregon for US Govt securities from our mutual funds, like give the % breakdown of the funds from Fidelity's list?
