According to IRS you can deduct late fees on a mortgage as below from the IRS website:

"Late payment charge on mortgage payment. You can deduct as home mortgage interest a late payment charge if it was not for a specific service performed in connection with your mortgage loan"

This would be as an addition to your mortgage interest from that lender.

Follow these steps

(To do this, sign in to TurboTax and click the orange Take me to my return button.)
