we sold our house and got a divorce fall of 2021 so filing single. How do I enter the 1098? Do I just split it 50/50?

    You can. HOwever, the two caveats are that to claim the interest, you must be both liable for the debt as well as pay the debt. If only one of you paid, that person gets to claim the deduction.
