Divorce Taxes Mortgage Interest
Question: Can I share the interest/prop tax deduction with ex?
Our divorce just became final last month. He moved out last year. This entire year to date he has continued to pay 1/2 the mortgage and will until the house sells. In turn, I agreed to split the interest and taxes deduction to benefit him for helping me. It’s not in our divorce papers. Will I have a problem with the IRS since the divorce is final and not noted and he doesn’t live there?
Ok, we are both on the mortgage and deed so I should be OK with the sharing?
I planned to draft a letter for both of us to sign to the agreement. Does this help?Answer: I don’t see anything wrong with you splitting the deductions since you are both paying them and you are both liable on the mortgage.
One caution: Whose name (and SS#) is the interest being reported to on Form 1098? That person will claim the interest on Sch. A. on the line that says Form 1098. The other will claim it on the line below (no need to fill in name, address, etc., since the payments are going to a mortgage company).

Filing Status For Divorce
Question: Could an Illegal allowed to remain in the US while filing for a marriage Visa ?
A Russian girl was married to her first US husband, then recieved a 2 years resident card, then bailed out of the marriage & filed for divorce(yet not divorced). 90 days before her 2 years card had expired, she filed for a permanent card (I-175)& to remove her conditional status, but was denied by the INS cuz she did not have enough proof of good faith marriage with her husband. Her 2 years card had expired 1.5 years ago, so now she is Illegal in the US. She plans(after she gets divorce from her first US husband) to marry a second US husband and apply again to the INS. What is ur opinion ? Would she be allowed to remain in the US while filing for a new marriage visa status with a new US husband ? What would her status be legally under all these facts ? Thanks
Answer: I bet she would be sent back because of the facts concerning her past marriage and her long time status as an illegal. She should get a good immigration lawyer so she can get the facts concerning her particular situation while remaining anonymous. JMO
