Question

Bf and I bought home. Both names on 1098 but only his ss#. He would benefit the entire amount from 1098. When TT asks if I own home do I still say yes but put 0’s in all boxes since he pays it?

Since you both own the home, you can split the Mortgage Interest and Property Tax deductions any way that you agree on.

 

You don't have to enter anything about your home ownership in TurboTax if you are not claiming any deductions, but if you do, don't enter $0's.. just leave blanks.

 

Remember, the house deductions only help if you are filing Itemized Deductions.
