For divorced people who both have their names on the mortgage interest Form 1098, you can enter your portion o your return and your ex-spouse can enter the other half.

 

You would do this by following these directions: 

 

  1. "Deductions & Credits" tab
  2. "Edit/Add" "Mortgage Interest" topic
  3. "Edit" the 1098 for the lender or "Add a lender" if applicable
  4. "Continue"
  5. "Someone Co-owns this loan" then select the appropriate option for the separate return you are working.
  6. "Continue"
  7. Put in the information for the other person as applicable.
  8. Enter only the correct portion of the 1098 amounts that belong to each of you
