Can / should the 1098 box 2 (outstanding mortgage principal) be split as well? Yes, if you are splitting the interest, you would split the outstanding mortgage principal.
Does the Married Filing Separately limit of $375,000 apply in this case as well? Are you married or just living together? If you are married, then yes. If you are not married, then that does not apply to you.

Thanks for confirming what I suspected.
What tax law or case says you can split the mortgage principal in box 2 of a 1098 for a unmarried couple?
I know you can split the interest and I want to split the mortgage principal as well in the Sch A mortgage interest calculation?
