You may be able to deduct sales taxes paid on purchase or property taxes and interest paid on a secured loan for the RV (if you are eligible to itemize deductions).
You can deduct interest
paid on a loan secured by your main home and second home. Both your main and second home can be a mobile home, house trailer, recreational vehicle (RV), or houseboat that has sleeping, cooking and toilet facilities.
Even if you don’t have a 1098, you’ll still enter all of the same information by answering the interview questions.
Sales tax is not the same as property tax and not deductible the same.
If you itemize your deductions, you can deduct either:
State and local income taxes you paid; or
State and local sales taxes you paid.
Enter both in TurboTax and it will provide you with the greatest benefit.
