Both of our names are on the title/deed. I often read we should not both claim the house given we are not married.

Lease? Rent is not deductible on a federal tax return.

RENT

There is not a rent deduction or credit on your Federal return. If your state has anything for renters you will be prompted to enter your rent info when you complete your state return. As far as I know, the states that have anything for rent are Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington DC, and Wisconsin.

If you are both on the lease then you can each claim the amount you paid if you are in a state that has a credit.

Sorry, we own the home. We’re both on the deed/title. He would be HOH and i would file as single. Just not sure if we both claim the house.

Ok ... same rules apply ... you each can deduct what you actually paid however the person filing single would get a better result if itemizing is better than the standard deduction as the HOH stand ded is much higher so if you have separate accounts make sure the payment comes out of the account of the person claiming the deduction.
