Bad debt is typically reported on Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business) if you're a sole proprietor, or on the appropriate business tax return if you're using another business structure. If the bad debt is related to a non-business debt, it generally isn't deductible for individual taxpayers. For business debts, you would report the amount of the bad debt as a deduction on your Schedule C, which ultimately affects your taxable income on your Form 1040.

If you are married but your name is not on the deed can you claim the house on your tax return?

No. You can deduct home mortgage interest only if you meet all the following conditions.You must file Form 1040 and itemize deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040).*You must be legally liable for the loan. You cannot deduct payments you make for someone else if you are not legally liable to make them. Both you and the lender must intend that the loan be repaid. In addition, there must be a true debtor-creditor relationship between you and the lender.*The mortgage must be a secured debt on a qualified home in which you have an ownership interest. (Generally, your mortgage is a secured debt if you put your home up as collateral to protect the interests of the lender. The term "qualified home" means your main home or second home. For details, see Publication 936.)
