Deductions & credits
Yes, one spouse claims the entire property tax and mortgage interest deduction if they are the only ones making payments on the house from a solely owned bank account. However, when you file separately, it is important to remember that if one spouse itemizes, the other must itemize as well, even if they have no itemized deductions. For more information on splitting itemized deductions, see the IRS FAQ about this topic.
