My spouse and I are filing separately this year to save on my student loan rates. My spouse and I are both on the Mortgage and we were planning to split the interest/property taxes 50/50. However, the mortgage is technically paid from my checking account (and my spouse helps pay for most everything else). Can we still split the interest/property tax 50/50 or do I have to claim it all? We do plan to itemize, as well.
