Hello Tax Experts 🙂
After my ex-wife and I divorced the agreement is:
1) The deed of the house was changed to my name only (my primary residence)
2) The mortgage is in her name only, but b/c I'm keeping the house, she gave me access to her mortgage account online, and I login, and pay mortgage + property taxes. After divorce we didn't refinance the house under my name b/c interests at the time were higher than the existing mortgage has (4%)
3) She gives me the 1098 she receives which is in her name, and she doesn't use the form in her income tax
Q 1) Can I enter in my income tax her 1098? I'm actually making the payments, but my name / SSN isn't on the form
Q 2) Can I declare the house's property taxes I paid in my income tax even though my name / SSN isn't on the mortgage account?
Thank you, I appreciate your help
Nick
