Real Estate and School taxes paid

poohkids2 · ‎February 23, 2020

We paid parents Real Estate and School taxes... I realize we can't deduct that but our question is:

Can THEY deduct them on their taxes because they didn't pay them - we did...

Thanks....

No, if they did not pay, they will not be able to deduct, unfortunately.

If they take a disallowed deduction, the IRS is entitled to reassess their taxes, including penalties and interest for the error,
