Boat and RV registration fees
$50-$800
Can You Write Off Boat and RV Registration Fees?
Short answer: Only the part of the fee based on the vehicle's value is deductible as personal property tax.
State and local income, sales, and property taxes share one SALT cap ($40,400 for 2026, reduced above about $505,000 of income) and only help if you itemize.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
