The IRS requires us to report mortgage interest received from the “Payer of Record” on a loan. We report it in the name and Social Security number of the first person listed on the billing statement, who is also known as the primary borrower. Rushmore does not determine how the interest is claimed on your tax return. You should seek assistance from a tax professional to ensure you are claiming the correct amount. Rushmore is not a law firm or tax advisor, and does not provide tax advice.
