<prompt> Human: Hey there,Every month, in addition to the rent at my own place, I pay half of the rent for my mothers apartment. I just deposit the money directly into her account. Is there any way that I can do this better, in a way that allows me to take a tax write-off for it? We live in the same state, but we do not live together. I have not talked to a tax professional about this yet.  <response>: No.
