Yes, personal property taxes can include motor vehicle taxes (registration fees). These taxes are assessed annually based on the value of registered motor vehicles like cars, boats, RVs, airplanes, and mobile homes registered with State Department of Motor Vehicles

  • To deduct these taxes, you must itemize your deductions using Schedule A (Form 1040). Only the portion of the registration fee based on the vehicle's value is deductible. Check your vehicle registration bill for this information.
  • Steps to Enter Motor Vehicle Property Tax in TurboTax:

    • Click  Car Registration: Use the search bar to type "car registration" and select the "Jump to" link. Enter the value-based portion of the taxes charged for your motor vehicle registration. This is for all motor vehicles registered with the State Department of Motor Vehicles.
