Can a cosigner on daughters home mortgage can i claim interest on mortgage and taxes?

In order to deduct mortgage interest and property taxes, you must have an ownership interest in the house (you must be on the deed).  Co-signing the mortgage is insufficient by itself.  And of course you can only deduct the portion of the mortgage interest and property tax that you actually pay (if you qualify at all).
