Yes, to deduct taxes or interest on Schedule A, you generally must be legally obligated to pay the expense and must have paid the expense during the year. Even though two unmarried individuals can both be the legal owners of the home and pay the mortgage equally or from common funds, the lender normally sends out only one Form 1098.
If you’re each eligible to deduct the expense, you can both take a deduction for your portion of the expenses. TurboTax will walk you through the process of getting the deduction.
