In the mortgage interest section:

You may have more than one Form 1098, from different lenders, if you refinanced your first mortgage, or your mortgage was sold.

Include any interest from an equity loan or home equity line of credit (HELOC) secured on this property.

 

Points in the refinance section:

Charges paid by a borrower to get a mortgage.

Points are also called:

 - Loan origination fees
 - Maximum loan charges
 - Loan discount
 - Discount points

The borrower is considered the payer of the points when a seller pays for the borrower's mortgage.
