Yes, assuming you did not received a 1098 from your new mortgage company you can use the 1098 from your previous Mortgage company.
As far as filing taxes goes, claiming a tax deduction for mortgage points is a fairly straightforward process. Mortgage points are considered an itemized deduction and are claimed on Schedule A of Form 1040. Here are the specifics:
- Usually, your lender will send you Form 1098, showing how much you paid in mortgage points and mortgage interest
- Transfer this amount to line 8c of Form 1040 Schedule A
- If any of your points were not included on Form 1098, enter the additional amount you paid on line Lines 8b and 8c of Form 1040 Schedule A
