Hi cnh again!
either party can claim any or all of the interest. You must decide between the two of yu who will take the interest claim. 50/50 or 70/30 whatever you both decide. However you cannot both claim 100% or any overlapping amount. Just make sure you both know what the other is doing.

That sounds logical to me, but I would agree with the other answer & double check with your accountant. Obviously Party A can prove that he/she is the one making the full mortgage payment each month including ALL of the interest part of the payment. I don't see why they couldn't take the full mortgage interest credit.
