TT and tax deductions

Wow! If someone can answer that question, I'll kiss you! I've had H&R Block prepare my taxes for the last ba-zillion years and I've never been able to deduct a single penny. What's the answer ... please tell!

If the debt on your RV is secured by your RV , and it has cooking, sleeping and toilet facilities, the interest on this debt is deductible.
Check with your tax advisor

You are allowed to deduct your main home and 1 second home/rv loan interest as long as the rv has the items above.

Do you deduct anything on your taxes for your RV? Unless you're using it for business, how do you do it? What's the tax code? Please advise.

Sorry you don't get to deduct your sales tax. You can deduct the interest on the RV loan as a second home, if you go long form on your Federal Taxes. Use schedule A just like on your original home.

Our tax adviser told us last year that we could deduct the interest.

Please refer to IRS publication 936, "deductibility of home mortgages"
Thank you

Thanks for the quick replies! Trying to get my taxes done while I'm staying in my house out of the deep freeze.

IRS Publication 936

Hardly scintillating reading, but you should be able to determine if the loan interest on your RV is deductible. Good luck!
