1098 How to file split joint owned home

I co-owned a home. All expenses split 50-50. The other individual sends all bill share to my personal bank account, then I use my account to pay the bills. I receive 1098 with only my name. Can we do a split tax deduction or only I should be able to claim it all?

You can deduct the home mortgage interest that you actually pay, so you can do the 50-50 split. See Topic no. 505, Interest expense | Internal Revenue Service.
