Deed Of Trust Spouse

deed of trust spouse
Question: Can I claim a interest paid tax deduction on a owner financed home?

I have an armoritization sheet, but no 1098 form from the lady financing the home to me and my spouse. The paper work was done by lawyer and I have a Deed of Trust.

Answer: Yes, the information on how to file is in the instructions for schedule. The interest goes on a different line than 1098 interest.

The money goes on line 11. You *must* put the seller's SSN on the tax return (he'll put your SSN on his as the person who paid him).
