Ex spouse and myself owned the house from January-July 2016.  Only his name was on the loan but both of our names were on the title.  Will he get a 1098 for the first part of the year?  Since my income also went towards making those payments, would I be entitled to claim a portion of the deductions?

He will get a 1098 for the mortgage interest you paid.

If the payments were made from a joint account you may decide between you how to divide up the interest.

If you made the payments from separate funds deduct the interest you paid from you funds.
