I am wondering how and where do I tell IRS that the account that is used to pay the mortgage is my account?


There is no place on a return (or statement) to tell the IRS about the account.

 

Each party to a joint account has full control over the funds and, in fact, can withdraw all of the funds and use as much of those funds for any purpose. This is the nature of a joint account.
