For what it's worth, the desktop version of TT has a box you can check if your name is not listed first on the 1098. If you check the box, a page opens on which you enter the other taxpayer's info. Also, if the interest you claim is different than the amount on the 1098, TT takes you to a page on which you can enter a text explanation.
Yep, that should move the deduction to line 8b on Schedule A. I think that is the correct way to do it, even though both names are on the 1098 (but you are listed second).
Shared interest reported on someone else's Form 1098.
If the shared interest was reported on the other person's Form 1098, report your share of the interest on line 8b (as explained in Line 8b, later).
