Yes, you can split the mortgage interest paid even though the form 1098 has only one taxpayer social security number. As a married couple who co-owns the home loan and are filing separately, you can each just split the 1098 amounts (boxes 1 and 2) in your TurboTax entries for the home loan. In other words each of your TurboTax entries will include a form 1098 from the lender that includes only your share of the interest and loan amount.
As xmasbaby0 stated earlier, the state and local tax limitation is $10,000 for a married couple so if you file separately that is split $5000 each.
