Deductions & credits
You might have an unrealistic expectation of what you can deduct for a refinance. You can deduct the same things you could deduct for a new mortgage: Property tax, mortgage interest, and loan origination points. You cannot deduct fees such as closing costs, appraisals, inspections, title searches, etc .
And...your itemized deductions have an effect on your tax due or refund ONLY if your itemized deductions exceed your standard deduction.
