Deductions & credits

Probably only January.  You would need to contact your lender.  The interest payments would have to be reflected on your 1098 form or else the IRS will send a mismatch letter.  

 

You can likely pay your January payment now.  The payment would have been billed in December and is probably due January 1 with a 5 day grace period.  If you paid extra, such as for February, the lender would probably apply it to principle instead.
