I personally own several out of state rental homes with my unmarried partner 50/50. We use her car to go manage the rentals as needed. We use a separate rental checking account to pay for gas, meals, and hotels when we go see the rentals. I'm confused on how to deduct the expenses associated with her car ie: primarily gas . Turbo tax asks if I own the car, which I don't and they say I can't deduct the expenses since I don't own it. But half of the money is being used to pay for gas is mine. What can I deduct for auto expenses in Schedule E if I don't own the car?
