Does your notarized Loan Agreement with your parents include an Amortization Schedule?

 

If so, you can deduct the Interest you paid them annually as Mortgage Interest, even if you don't have a Form 1098.

 

Here's more info on Mortgage Interest with No 1098.  If you pay the Property Taxes, you can also report them on your return.

if the property is not security for the loan you do not have deductible mortgage interest.
