If you are filing a joint return you do not distribute mortgage interest or any other itemized deductions between the two of you. When you file a joint return all of your income, dependents, and deductions and credits are combined. And the refund will come in both of your names.
If you file married filing separately, that is when you would be dividing up who enters what deduction, etc.
