Deductions & credits
My girlfriend and I own a home together and we are currently in the process of breaking up and selling the house. The mortgage is in her name, since she had better credit when we purchased the house, but we are both on the deed/title and are "tenants in common." We have both evenly split the cost of the mortgage and utilities in 2019. For my taxes this year, do I have a right to claim 50% of the mortgage interest deduction even if she disagrees and demands to get it all? She has done that in the past even though we were still a couple, despite the fact that I felt this to be unfair. Thank you!
