Head of Household Income Tax Deduction

Head of Household Income Tax Deduction

I retired in November of 2010.

My nephew lives with me and will claim head of household as his filing status for this tax year 2011 my question is can he also take the interest paid on my home if he is taking head of household?

I am on his form 1040 as a dependent and he has paid more than half of the upkeep on our house.

Thank you for your question about claiming interest paid on your home as Head of Household.

If he is paying over half of the household bills and is paying for the mortgage interest that is showing in your tax ID, you and he can both nominee the interest to him as paid on his tax return.
