In this case, you should prorate your mortgage interest and enter the portion of the mortgage interest that you paid while you were renting your former personal home. Later in the program, enter the rest of the mortgage interest in the section where the question is for the time when you were living in the house. 

 

And for the other Form 1098, enter that in the personal section of your tax return. This will be added to the other personal mortgage interest and placed on Schedule A.

 

Be sure to split your property taxes to reflect when the house was a personal home and then a rental.
