I recently purchased a home with my boyfriend. Since we're not married and we file separate who claims the house?

Both of you would claim the house. You should divide your expenses based on who paid them; if they are deducted form a joint account, divide them evenly.

Note: 

  • unmarried couples - each can claim the portion of the expenses that they paid
  • married couples - can allocate the expenses in any manner they choose, unless they live in a community property states (if they do, they are subject to community property rules)

Is it okay for just one of us to claim it?
