I share an investment account with my ex-wife. How do I make sure I only pay taxes on my half of the income. Should I just cut all the amounts in half?

Yes, you are correct. You should cut all the amounts in half.

I assume all the paperwork such as 1099Bs are in both of your names so the IRS knows what is going on.
