My house is in my father's name, but I pay the mortgage. Can I somehow claim the property taxes, and interest on my return?

My father is not going to claim the property on his return.

The IRS will only allow you to take a Mortgage Interest Deduction if you are actually liable for that mortgage.  If the mortgage is in your name, then take the deduction.

The IRS will only allow you to take a Real Estate Tax Deduction if you own the property you paid the taxes for.  If your name is on the title to the property, then take the deduction.
