How do I claim mortgage interest, per my divorce for my 2018 taxes I get to claim half of the mortgage interest paid but my ex has the Form 1098?

[KatrinaB · Accepted solution]

You should call the mortgage company to find out the amount of mortgage interest paid in 2018. Then you will enter your portion of mortgage interest into TurboTax just as you would if you had received from 1098-T.

To enter your Mortgage Interest in TurboTax Online or Desktop, please follow these steps:

1. Log in and click take me to my return (unless already in).
2. Click the Federal tab (Personal tab in TurboTax Home & Business)
3. Click Deductions & Credits from the top of the screen.
4. On the next screen, click "jump to full list" or “I’ll choose what I work on”
5. Scroll down until you see the section Your Home
6. Select Show More, then Mortgage Interest, and Refinancing and Insurance
