Boat deductions

The bottom FIFTY PERCENT of taxpayers pays ONLY FIVE PERCENT of income taxes. I see that a few people are still SHOUTING their stupid political lies here. Obviously you did not bother to check the IRS web site for actual tax figures. The truth is very easy to find. Hey Fred, got a boat? As for the reason for tax deductions for the *interest* on boat loans, it depends on your point of view. In one way, it is an indirect subsidy for the banking industry. In another way of looking at it, it's a fair way of stimulating the economy by encouraging people to buy things. FWIW we have used the boat loan interest deduction for years. There are several criteria, among them that the boat has to have a potty & a galley, and you have to sleep on board for a certain number of nights per year. How many nights per year? |
