@Kcseb234 And....oddly.....you posted your question to a thread that pertains to sales tax. Are you somehow trying to get a deduction for sales tax by calling the payoff of your mortgage a "major purchase"---or did you just pick this thread at random?
Only the interest paid for a mortgage is deductible---and it only has an effect on your refund or tax due if you also have enough itemized deductions to exceed your standard deduction. The principal you paid off is not an itemized deduction at all, nor is it a "major purchase" for sales tax.
