Question

2nd home

We own a 2nd home that our son/family live in. We have mortgage on property. We make too much money to use home as rental (Sch E). How many days/nights do we need to live in home to claim as 2nd home and deduct mortgage interest and property taxes?  How do we document that?

    No, you do not have to live in the home to claim mortgage interest and property taxes on Schedule A.
