I purchased a hard sided camper last year and I'm wondering if i can deduct the taxes paid on that purchase?

Yes, if you're itemizing, you get to choose between deducting your state and local income taxes or your state and local sales taxes. You cannot claim both, and you can't claim either one if you're taking the standard deduction.

If you take the predetermined amount, you get to add the sales taxes you paid for major purchases, like a car, truck, RV, or boat. We'll guide you through this process in the Deductions & Credits section.

When we ask if you bought any major items while living in your state, answer Yes if you purchased:

• A motorized vehicle (car, truck, RV, motorcycle, etc.—sorry, no mopeds).
• An aircraft, boat, mobile home, or manufactured home, but only if you paid the general sales tax rate (otherwise it doesn't apply).
• Building materials for a major renovation or substantial addition to a home, if you paid the general sales tax rate yourself or your contractor was authorized to purchase these materials per your instructions or building contract.
