I read a good post that addresses the basic questions on this topic: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/i-bought-a-primary-residence-sin....
I have the following followup questions:
1. One of the answer in the post refers to "prepaid taxes". Can we deduct all of prepaid taxes part of Closing costs which is 12x of estimated monthly payments? And is that restricted by SALT cap of $10K or on top of the actual prorated taxes paid for the period of stay i.e. post closing?
2. Most of the answers mentions "points" in Origination charges. There is also another line item in my mortgage under Origination charges which is "Lender Origination Fee". Is this deductible as well or it's strictly the "points" that are purchased and categorized under Origination charges?
