If I co-own a mortgage with someone and split payments 50/50, should I enter half the mortgage interest listed in box 1 of my 1098?

As long as both of you actually paid the mortgage, either of you can claim the full amount or split it according to how much each of you paid (e.g., 50/50), but you both can not deduct the full amount (same with real estate or property taxes).
