Form 1098 box 6 is listing the points you paid for your mortgage. Enter box 6 amount in TurboTax. A point represents a % of your mortgage loan amount.
The amount listed on line 803 is your adjusted origination charges. Not all of your origination charges are deductible. Only the points included in that figure are deductible.
Other Items on closing disclosure form that may be
deductible:
-
interim interest paid at the time of purchase (the charge at
closing would normally be done for interest up to the date of first
payment).
-
real estate taxes charged to you.
-
points - On a refinance they need to be amortized over the life
of the loan; unless the points were used to improve your main home.
-
private mortgage insurance but, if prepaid, only the amount
allocable to this year based on an 84 month amortization.
Other fees, such as commissions, attorney
fees, preparation of deed, abstract fees, owner title insurance, recording fees
are added to the basis of your home, and not deductible.
