Deductions & credits

No, you will not receive a 1098 from the 1st lender if no payment was collected by them. That's what a 1098 reports-collected interest received from a payment. 

It is common for new loans to be sold to another lender immediately, as some lenders don't want to carry the note themselves.

Other Items on closing disclosure form that may be deductible:

  • interest paid at the time of purchase (the charge at closing would normally be done for interest up to the date of first payment). 
  • real estate taxes charged to you. 
  • points - On a refinance they need to be amortized over the life of the loan; unless the points were used to improve your main home.

Other fees, such as commissions, attorney fees, preparation of deed, abstract fees, owner title insurance, recording fees are added to the basis of your home, and not deductible.
