After you file
If you entered your mortgage interest and possibly points paid from your form 1098 and you entered the real estate taxes paid in 2020, then you have entered the typical potential itemized deductions for homeowners.
If your itemized deductions do not exceed the standard deduction for your filing status then you will not see a change in your tax return. It is only when the itemized deductions exceed the the standard deduction that you will benefit from those homeowner deductions.
The standard deduction rates are:
Single $12,400
Married filing jointly 24,800
Head of Household 18,650
If you have any energy saving improvements for your home in 2020 then there may be potential tax credits there. Items like adding energy efficient doors or windows, adding insulation, or new roof, or adding solar or wind devices, or adding an energy efficient AC or furnace.
In TurboTax click the "Deductions & Credits" tab and scroll down to "Your Home" and "Show More". This will list the topics to explore for homeowners.
