Your personal residence, not used as a rental or in a business, is not "claimed" or deductible on a tax return.
You can deduct the mortgage interest paid, real estate taxes paid and points paid, if any, on the residence as an itemized deduction on Schedule A.
When you sell the home you may have to report the sale on your tax return, depending on whether you received a Form 1099-S for the sale or your gains were greater than the exclusion you were eligible to receive.
