Hello! My friend and I moved in together, she owns the house and is on all the paperwork. We split payments (i send her the money and then she pays whatever is needed) We just got our house taxes and we are going to split them, but I don’t know how to file my taxes and everything since it’s not in my name

Since nothing is in your name and you are not legally obligated to pay the mortgage or property tax, none of it goes on your tax return.

Where did you find this information? I can’t seem to find anything on it 🙂 Thank you for your response

The person or people whose name is on the mortgage or deed is the person who can enter the mortgage interest or property tax paid onto a tax return. You state that you just "moved in" with a friend---that just sounds like roommates who are sharing costs. The owner of the home will be getting a 1098 from the lender. They can enter the mortgage interest, property tax and loan origination points on their tax return if they are itemizing deductions.
