My husband and I were divorced in 2016. The separation agreement states that I can deduct 100% of the mortgage interest paid in 2016. The 1098 that was issued references both of our names but my ex-husband's ssn is listed as the payer's tin. The mortgage company stated that he was named as "primary" and they cannot adjust this for a prior year's taxform. They can only adjust this going forward.

When you enter the Form 1098 into the Mortgage Interest section of TurboTax, go through the follow-up questions. You should come to a checkbox indicating that your name does not appear first on the 1098. Check the box and proceed on through.
