Amount of mortgage "responsible for" for property with joint tenancy with partner
Hello, I had a tax question -- my partner and I bought a primary residence last year -- we are not married therefore, are filing taxes separately. In filing taxes, there is a how much mortage are you "responsible for" question, in relation to how much mortgage interest I can deduct on my tax return. My partner is unemployed and I have been making 100% of the payments. Is this "responsible for" amount 50% of the mortgage principal or should I put all 100%? Thank you!
