If your name is not on the mortgage, you cannot deduct the mortgage interest you may have paid.

If your name is on the deed, you are responsible for the property taxes. You can deduct the property taxes you actually paid. If the taxes were paid out of joint funds, you can deduct the taxes in proportion to the income you received compared to any other persons on the deed.

Did you pay part of the mortgage? If not, doesn't affect your return. If you paid part of the mortgage you have to talk to your ex. Technically you should be able to claim part of the interest as a "nominee."
