If you see no change to your tax return, then you do NOT need to amend your return.  Your Form 1098, Mortgage Interest Statement may allow you deduct mortgage interest, mortgage insurance premium, real estate taxes, etc., but if you don't itemize or if these deductions don't change your return, then you do not have to file it.
