Deductions & credits

No, you cannot deduct VA Funding Fees. 

From Publication 936 (2018) page 7: Amounts charged by the lender for specific services connected to the loan aren't interest. Examples of these charges are: 

  • Appraisal fees, 
  • Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) funding fees, 
  • Mortgage insurance premiums, 
  • Notary fees, and 
  • Preparation costs for the mortgage note or deed of trust. 

You can't deduct these amounts as points either in the year paid or over the life of the mortgage
