Received an email from BoatUS today and here is some info re: Taxes...thought I'd pass it on...(your mileage may vary).
Tax tips! SALES TAX and BOAT LOAN INTEREST DEDUCTIONS ARE AVAILABLE!
As I'm gathering together information for my 2006 tax returns, I wanted to share the good news on some deductions we, as boaters, are entitled to. Thanks to action taken by Congress in December, tax filers who made a large purchase in 2006, such as a boat, may deduct state and local sales taxes. We've been hearing from Members that even their accountants are unaware of the Congressional extension since it did not appear on the printed 2006 Schedule A (Form 1040). There's always fine print involved so check the IRS Web site,
http://www.irs.gov; it outlines the so-called "extender provisions".
