Can I claim the taxes of $739 monthly I pay on my mobile home I own outright? Where on my return can I include these monies paid?

I pay no mortgage for my mobile home but I have to pay the community $739 monthly to pay taxes which handles trash pick up and snow plowing on main roads.  I am responsible for anything on my own property such as lawn snow paint, etc.  Can't I claim this money or even a portion of it?

Probably not. What you describe doesn't sound like property tax, since I imagine you don't own the property your mobile home sits on. If you do, then it may be allowable as an itemized deduction, but that would only benefit you if you itemize your deductions as opposed to taking the standard deduction, which is $25,900 for joint filers and $12,950 for single filers.

@rawb528  i agree. only if you own the land the MH sits on would a portion be dedductible and that would only be the portion for real estate taxes.   however, some states may allow some sort of deduction or credit for rent paid.
