The deduction was for mortgage interest. you paid, and if you did not pay interest in 2019, you no longer have that to enter on a tax return. There is no deduction for paying off the loan. Now you just will not have mortgage interest to put on a tax return. If you paid property taxes then you can enter them, but it is very hard for many people to itemize now that the standard deductions are higher. It is difficult to have enough itemized deductions to exceed your standard deduction.
