If you are legally divorced, you would not be able to file married filing separately. A legally divorced individual can either file as single or head-of-household. You would deduct the interest of bank accounts, mortgage statements etc... if your name and social security number are on the bank accounts and 1098 for your mortgage. If both of you were on the title to the property, you can divide the mortgage interest and property taxes 50/50, or anyway else the two of you agreed to. Just make sure that the sum of you and your ex's deduction add up to the total and does not exceed the total, (i.e., mortgage interest is $12,347 - you would have $6,173 and your ex would have $6,174) which would exactly equal $12,347 instead of you having $6,174 and your ex has $6,174 which would not equal $12,347, but instead would equal $12,148, which is $1 over the amount on the Form 1098 mortgage interest..
