So the choice I see under “Do any of these situations apply?” reads a little differently - “My name is not on the 1098, or my name isn’t the first one listed on the 1098.”
For MFS, where both taxpayer and spouse own the house jointly, are joint mortgagors, and they will split the deduction; say taxpayer is listed second on form 1098, SSN on 1098 is spouse’s, on taxpayer’s input, should that boxed be checked or should “none of the above” be checked?
I think I’ve seen conflicting answers.
