Where do I enter the interest paid on an RV in the turbo tax program?

I am curious where in the Turbo Tax software I enter the interest paid on my RV? Trying to account for it like a mortgage under deductions it is asking for a 1098 or  click boxes for: the recipient gave me a SSN or reciepient gave me a EIN. I do not have any of theses... It is financed through a bank on an auto style loan. However I am living in it as a primary residence and have read it is tax deductible. Where in the program will I enter this information?

Is mortgage interest on an RV or mobile home tax deductible?

 

Yes. You're allowed to deduct the interest on a loan secured by your main home (where you ordinarily live most of the time) and a second home.

A mobile home, RV, house trailer, or houseboat that has sleeping, cooking, and toilet facilities counts as a main or second home, and as long as it meets all the other requirements for deducting mortgage interest, you can claim the interest like an immovable home.

 

You can enter these deductions under Federal Taxes > Deductions & Credits > Mortgage Interest, Refinancing, and Insurance (Form 1098).  Even if you don’t have a 1098, you’ll still need to enter the requested information from an alternate source, such as your mortgage lender or year-end mortgage statement. In that case, just enter everything when prompted as though you have a 1098. (Because you’ll be entering the equivalent of the amounts from the different numbered boxes of the 1098 without actually having that form).
