1099 form in x-Wife's name Marriage Settlement permits me to claim taxes
Last year (2008) I went through a divorce, My x-wife and I still own a property. The mortgage is in her name as she is the primary, and I am the co-signer.
The marriage settlement agreement clearly states that I am permitted to claim the interest for this property on my taxes. I received the 1099 form in the mail the other day, and her name is the only name listed on the 1099 form.
Since her name is the primary name on the 1099 form, and on the mortgage, what can be done so that I can claim this interest on my taxes, besides asking her to claim the interest, and then try to get the money, which in my opinion will be impossible to do.
If I contact the bank, about re-issuing a 1099 in my name, they tell me that the mortgage is in her name as the primary, despite having the legal signed marriage settlement aggrement which clearly states that I am permitted to claim the interest for this property.
If anyone can shed light on this, or if I need to go to an account.:confused::confused::confused:
