Claiming deductions on a house as a Joint Tenant

My fiance and I own our house. I believe we are considered joint tenants. We file taxes separately. We evenly split the costs for everything related to the house.

 

How do we each enter deductions for mortgage interest and property taxes paid? I think we should evenly divide both the mortgage interest and property taxes found on Form 1098. When entering this into TurboTax, however, only mortgage interest entry box allows me to note that "The interest amount I entered is different than what's on my 1098" -- the property tax entry box doesn't have the option for making a similar note. How should I note a difference from the 1098 in *both* mortgage interest and property taxes  in TurboTax?
