Deductions & credits
You do not divide the value of the property. Put the full property value in each return and divide only the mortgage interest. Your outstanding mortgage principle is entered as on the 1098 mortgage interest form.
In some cases, taxpayers may have a better return if one spouse takes all of the mortgage interest and the other takes the standard deduction.
