My client owns two houses. none of them is a rental property. My client lives in one house and her parents reside in the other. parents pay the mortgage and property taxes on the house they live in, but the loan is in my clients name and her S.S # is on the 1098 form. My question is , can she take the deduction for mortgage interest and property taxes for both the houses, if yes how she will report this deduction on schedule A. If not, can her parents take this deduction even though their name and S.S # is not on form1098. Any help will be appreciated.
