|

| If you are not on the loan, but you have a quit claim deed giving you half ownership of the home, and you pay half the mortgage, can you claim half of the house on your taxes? |

Absolutely, just be sure the other person doesn't claim the full amount of the taxes, and knows to just claim half. _________________ For more information on credit repair, please visit my blog, http://creditrepair4u.wordpress.com , or my site, http://freecreditreportnow.org .

I believe you must be obligated to pay, that is, on the loan. Check with a CPA. _________________ Disclaimer: This is not legal advice and I am not your lawyer.
