Where do I enter interest paid to my mortage escrow account?

[jtcrawford83]

Mortgage Escrow Interest was listed (on my 1098, I think) as just $5.21 paid to the escrow account associated with my mortgage (which is used to pay property taxes). I assume this amount is taxable income, even though it stays in the escrow account, so I did not directly receive it. Do I need to enter it as if it was from a 1099-INT? I do not see any place to enter it along with my other mortgage information.

If you earned interest income in your escrow account, you can enter it in TurboTax under Interest on a 1099-INT.  You may not have received a 1099-INT since interest income less than $10 is not required to be reported on a 1099-INT.

Do you split that amount if you co-own the home (and each person contributes to the mortgage)?
