It depends. If the home is collateral for the loan, the person responsible for paying the loan/mortgage and has their name deed for the home would be allowed to deduct the interest and taxes if it was their main home or second home.
If both qualify, a general rule of thumb is the person paying the expense gets to take the deduction.
