Deductions & credits

Sorry no.  Just when you sell it.  You can only deduct mortgage interest and the property tax if you have enough Itemized deductions, more than the Standard Deduction 

 

For 2018 the standard deduction amounts are:

Single 12,000 + 1,600 for 65 and over or blind

HOH 18,000 + 1,600 for 65 and over or blind

Joint 24,000+ 1,300 for each 65 and over or blind
