It's that time of year again — April showers, May flowers and of course,
tax season. This edition, we chatted with RV tax expert Honey Shellman
on a few tax tips to consider if you're a full-time RVer.

It has recently come to my attention that various states
are taxing visiting RVers in rather creative ways. A Florida
resident visiting the state of Connecticut for three months was
surprised with a personal property tax bill of $2,000, based on
the Fair Market Value of their motor coach. Another resident
of Texas, visiting the state of Florida, was charged with two
taxes on their satellite TV bill. Since this is not my area of
expertise, I can only suggest you be aware of this possibility.
On my website,
RV Income Tax Help, I have links to the
taxing agencies of all 50 states. If you plan a visit, especially a
long-term visit to any particular state, I suggest you visit their
website or call. Better to know before you go!
