Deductions & credits

You would not have received a Form 1098, but you should have received a copy of the closing documents.  Use that form to see if you incurred interest (probably did from 12/19 - 12/31), property taxes (probably didn't), Points on the mortgage loan or PMI.  Those items may be included in your itemized deductions for the year.  Other closing costs are not deductible but can be added to your adjusted cost basis in the property that will be used in determining your gain or loss on the sale of the property if and when you sell it in the future.
