Was there something more I could have done? I noticed you voted down my answer, even though I answered your question. Mortgage principal makes no difference in the amount of your refund. It is on the form for information only.
No it does not. For income Tax purposes only mortgage interest and real estate taxes are deductible. I would keep for your records
