Hi, I have 1098 mortgage. I am a joint owner, but my name is first. If I filed 2018 taxes can the other owner file the 1098 on their 2018 taxes?

You can't both file for the full amount, but you could split the amount between the two returns using the same 1098.

The 1098 has multiple names, and multiple people are paying the mortgage/interest:

• Each can deduct their portion of interest paid. When entering the 1098 only enter the amount that you actually paid, not the full amount.
