What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
I paid the property taxes on my brother's house in 2009. He is in NY and I am not.
He is in the process of getting a divorce. If it matters, the wife instigated proceedings in early 2009 and moved out. She has paid nothing toward the mortgage or the taxes.
He is the only one on the note. The house is titled in both names.
If he files as "married filing separately", can he claim 100% of the property-tax deduction?
Thanks for any sage advice...
