My Dad is living in a home/property that was put into a Quit Claim Deed in my name. There is no debt as the home/property was paid off almost 20 years ago. He pays all his living expenses and the property taxes. Can he claim the entire amount or can he only claim half of it because the Quit Claim Deed is in my name?

In order to claim the property taxes, you must be both liable for the debt and pay the debt. Neither of you can claim them. In the future, have your father gift you the money and then you pay them.

There is no dept. The property and home have been paid off for about 20 years. There is only his living expenses which he pays for all of it. He pays the property taxes.
