Deductions & credits

@sigseher ,  while answer from @zomboo , expands on my original answer ,  interest deduction ( if you take itemized deduction)  requires  ONLY        (a)  ownership  ( percentage ownership  generally does not matter absent any restricting covenant between the owners) ;   loan is secured by the property and you must have paid the amount.  Generally if you are on the title, you also would be on the loan docs. ( i.e. you and the  other owners are individually and severally responsible  for the interest payment) and therefore  any monies you paid for the mortgage  ( to the extent it is interest for the borrowed monies ) is deductible.

 

Thus this could be your main residence or a second home / vacation home.
