Can I report all of 1099-INT income from joint account on my individual tax return?

My partner and I are not married and we file separately. We have a joint checking account and received a 1099-INT with both of our names and only my SSN. Can I report the full amount of interest income on my tax return? 

 

If we go this route, do I report it exactly as I would report 1099 interest income from a bank account where I am the sole account holder? (that is, I do not have to do anything with nominee interest) And as far as my partner's tax return is concerned, this 1099 does not exist?
