Yes, you can split the mortgage interest and real estate tax deductions based on what you each paid. The bigger tax benefit is with the person with the higher income. Also keep in mind these are itemized deductions and would only benefit if your total itemized deductions exceed the standard deduction. The standard deduction for single filers is $12,200 and head of household is $18,350.
