Divorced - agreed 50/50 split of 1098 - How do I reflect this properly when entering my 1098 details in TurboTax?
I got divorced in 2017, the ex and I sold our home, and have in our separation agreement that we will split the 1098. When filling out the 1098 details in TurboTax, do I simply half the mortgage interest and outstanding principal? Do I then check the "The interest amount I entered is different than what's on my 1098." box?
I found multiple answers to splitting the mortgage interest, but nothing about what to report for the other fields, most importantly the "Outstanding mortgage principal". I suspect that I should only enter in half, but just want to be sure.
