Mortgage Interest Deduction?

Posted by admin
TECH asked:

I have an odd question about Mortgage Interest deductions. Here’s the situation:

My step-father was paying on a mortgage, but abruptly had to go abroad to care for his ailing parents.

He made no mortgage payments in 2006 at all, nor supplied any income for my mother. My mother had a couple part-time jobs, but could not pay the mortgage. Therefore, the entire year of 2006 I assumed the bill and payed all of the mortgage payments myself.

My question is, who deducts the mortgage interest paid? Should it be on her tax return since the mortgage is in her name?

Or, should it be on mine, since I obviously paid it. I worry that if I put it on hers, the IRS will wonder how she paid all that interest, when she didn’t have even a third of that income.

Any thoughts?

Thanks…
