Deductions & credits

No that sounds correct- if you divided the mortgage interest amount from the 1098 in TurboTax, you each should have received one half of the total deduction.

 

If you and at least one other person (other than your spouse if you file a joint return) were liable for and paid interest on a mortgage that was for your home, and the other person received a Form 1098 showing the interest that was paid during the year, attach a statement to your paper return explaining this. Show how much of the interest each of you paid, and give the name and address of the person who received the form.
