Who claims the mortgage interest when two people are on the mortgage?


ANSWER


The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:

Either person may claim the mtg. interest expense.

The parties may also divide the deduction; as they so

elect. If the parties dispute who claims the deduction,

it will be allocated to the person who bears the "benefits

& burdens" of ownership of the property that the loan accrues from
