You (buyer) would recieve the interest deduction and the seller would have to send you a 1098 for interest paid.

I was considering a purchase of a residence via an installment contact where the “seller” is paid interest only with a ballon in 3 years and seller continues to pay original mortgage.

How is the interest accounted for by both the buyer and seller when filling taxes?

thanx in advance
