In february of 2024, my sister and i signed the deed for a house we both have our name in via joint tenancy. I could not put my name on the mortgage due to being on short term disability pay through my job. As a result, she received the 1098 for the home and I am not included. How do we proceed in getting me my half of the credits/deductions as I did pay 50% of the mortgage and property taxes for 2024? Unfortunately my sister and I are not on good terms at the moment and she has a protective order against me so I cannot contact her (trying to get this changed in the court system so I can contact her about the same home we are now trying to sell). What exactly do I need to do to ensure I receive my fair 50% of tax credits etc. Help!
