The IRS allows taxpayers to deduct home mortgage interest in the form of itemized deductions, which allows you to deduct your actual expenses instead of a set amount. When a married couple files separately and if one spouse itemizes, the other spouse also must itemize. If you and your spouse are filing separately and plan to itemize, you can split the mortgage interest expenses however you like as long as the combined deduction does not exceed the actual interest expense. Obtain two copies -- one for you and your spouse -- of Form 1040 and Schedule A from the IRS website.
