Purchase a first home with sibling jointly last year. Can one person get 100% deduction and other report 0% deduction?

[Marketstar · Accepted solution]

To deduct mortgage interest and property taxes you must meet two conditions:

1.   You must be legally obligated to pay the mortgage and/or property tax.

2.   You must actually pay it

If you hold title to the property, you satisfy the first requirement

So, you should each deduct whatever mortgage interest and property tax yopu pad in 2017.
