Can my wife claim my mortgage interest deduction? I bought the house before we were married and never put her on the mortgage or title.

No, your wife is not allowed to claim the mortgage interest deduction for your debt. She must have an ownership interest in the home to deduct interest on a home loan. This means that her name has to be on the deed.
