    Live/work in the state CA while family lives in state MA
    I am taking up a job in CA. My family will stay in MA for two years before joining me due to school reasons. Can I take tax deduction for the mortgage of my house in MA and rental expense of my apartment in CA for this period?

    Yes, you can deduct the mortgage interest and real estate taxes on the house in Massachusetts.

    No, you cannot deduct the apartment rent in California because the job in California is NOT considered to be temporary in nature.
