We bought a house in NC last year and are not married and file separately, who claims the house?

On a federal tax return you do not report the purchase of a personal residence.  You only enter the mortgage interest, mortgage insurance and the property taxes you personally paid as a deduction on your tax return.

Ok so if we split it 50/50 we each list what we each paid?
