Default New tax deductions for sailors?

Treating your boat as a second home has been legit for a while. It has to
have a toilet and stove I believe.

Or maybe you are hearing about something for professional sailors aka
merchant marines?

Hello,
This is my first posting, and I'm not too savvy, so please excuse
me if I ask a stupid question. One of the guys I dock near said he
read that there are some new laws this year that make it possible
for sailors to deduct a lot of equipment from their taxes. Is this
true? Where can I find out more about this? That would be great,
since I purchased my first boat this year. I'm getting all of my
paperwork together in preparation for filing on the first day
possible, which, according to the TaxBrain site, is Jan. 16, just a
week away.
Yours truly,
Jenny Mac
