I own a mobile home. Do i claim that as owning a house?

[CherylW · Accepted solution]

That is the same as owning a house, as long as you reside in it and use it for personal reasons. 

This, from IRS Publication 936:

For you to take a home mortgage interest deduction, your debt must be secured by a qualified home. This means your main home or your second home. A home includes a house, condominium, cooperative, mobile home, house trailer, boat, or similar property that has sleeping, cooking, and toilet facilities.

Under what section would I enter this information. 

[DaveF1006]

Yes, since owning a mobile home is the same as owning a house, you have the same taxable rights as all homeowners in declaring deductible interest and property taxes.

1. Log into Turbo Tax

2. Go to federal>deductions and credits>your home>start

3. Mortgage Interest and Refinancing (Form 1098)

4. Note: After entering this information, you may not see a change in your return. This is because the information you entered might not and if these deductions are more than your standard deduction amount, then you will see either a bigger refund or a reduction of taxes due.
