For married filing separate returns, in the mortage interest topic you will only enter your portion of the interest paid on your return and your spouse's on her return.
- "Deductions & Credits" tab
- "Edit/Add" "Mortgage Interest" topic
- "Edit" the 1098 for the lender or "Add a lender" if applicable
- "Continue"
- "Someone Co-owns this loan" then select the appropriate option for the separate return you are working.
- "Continue"
- Put in the information for the other person as applicable.
- Enter only the correct portion of the 1098 amounts that belong to each of you
The correct allocations will then flow to the individual state returns.
