My boyfriend & i bought a home, he does not live in it yet , how do we file for the 1098

[MelaineC · Accepted solution]

If both names are on 1098, you will divide the interest, insurance (if applicable) and taxes by 2.  Each will put the divided value on their return.  Basically, you will half the amount to enter on return.  Only the people/person whose name appears on 1098 can claim it.

thank you for the prompt response.  As he still lives in his apartment and claims our son, i claimed our daughter last year when i was still in my apartment, do we still both file hoh until he moves in our new home when we get married next year?

Yes, if you are both claiming a dependent you will file HOH until you get married then it will be married filing jointly.
