asked

If two properties were transferred to a trust for half the year (June to December 2021), one being a principal residence (NY) and the other a vacation home (FL), and property taxes were paid for the entire year out of pocket, can I deduct half of the property taxes paid on my 1040 and the other half on the trust's 1041? The property taxes were paid out of pocket and not from the trust account. If I can take the deduction, what would the journal entries be for the out-of-pocket real estate expense that was paid for the properties held in the trust?
