because of filing separate starting in 2018, only 1/2 of carryforward allowed because of filing separate.  How do I show full amount of prior unallowed interest and property tax with 2020 when lots, passive, were sold for gain?  Husband is receiving 1/2 of sale proceeds so his portion of 1/2 carryforward needs to show up against gain.

Show as an adjustment to basis. If you are doing this in Screen 22, look at the Sections for General Disposition Information and there is a line for Basis adjustment
