my girlfriend and I bought a home together, I got the 1098, my name was listed first. I pay her half of what the mortgage will cost and she pays it in full from her bank, so it probably looks like she's paying it all. Would I have to enter anything in regarding the 1098 if I don't pay the mortgage directly? and secondly, if I do have to enter something in, would it be simply splitting the mortgage interest and property tax numbers by half?
It appears that when the mortgage interest is divided among two people we would have to attach some written explanation, is this possible to do with TurboTax? and can it still be efiled?
Thank you!
