If you have a fifth wheel rv and pay seasonal rates/fees(paid annually) at a camp ground are those rates/fees(paid annually) tax deductable?

[KathrynG3]

No. The campground fees would be a personal expense that is not deductible.

I have that same issue but I'm charged yearly lot rent, and the travel trailer qualifies as my 2nd home, is that lot rent deductible ?

Thanks

Unfortunately, amounts paid to rent space for an RV are not deductible, even if you live there year-round.

The only deductions available for your home (or second home/RV) are mortgage interest and property taxes. Unless you own the space (the underlying real estate), you don't pay mortgage interest or property taxes.

Can the mortgage interest on my 5th wheel used for our winter home be deductable? Live in for 5 months.

[PattiF]

Yes, you can include the interest that you pay for the fifth wheel as a deduction for Mortgage Interest. It would qualify as a second home.
