Q: what is my primary residence and my mother's primary residence?
i live in a combined condo unit owned by my mother and i (with 2 tax lots and 2 common charge bills). can my mother put 1 apt and i the other apt as primary residence? can we each pay one property tax bill and deduct that up to the limit for our individual income taxes?
A:
I don't see why not, assuming that (i) the property for which the credit is claimed is actually owned by the claimant and (ii) the claimant actually resides at the domicile for which the exemption is claimed.
Good luck.
