Get your taxes done using TurboTax

A rate lock fee is not a deductible closing cost (unless it was considered deductible "points").  If you didn't deduct the cost, the refund has no tax consequences.  

 

If you did deduct the rate lock fee on a past tax return (whether as points, or by mistake) a refund of a past deduction is a "taxable recovery" and is listed under "other" or miscellaneous income.
