Generally you should be able to claim the tax deduction for the property tax that you are responsible to pay. In other words, if you own 50% of the property and pay 50% of the taxes then you can deduct 50% of the taxes as a deduction. One issue you may have if your name and social security number are not listed on the 1098 form are you actually a co-owner or a co-signer or the loan? These are two different things. If you co-signed the loan only then you actually are not an owner if you are not listed on the deed. If you are responsible for the loan and an owner, the mortgagee should issue you a 1098 as well, in the proportion of your ownership. The IRS gets a copy of the 1098 and matches these up to taxpayers returns some time after the tax year for which it is issued so you should get this corrected.
