You can't claim your house, but you can claim mortgage interest and property taxes (if applicable). However, these are part of the itemized deductions, which you only take if the total is greater than the standard deduction of $12,600 for a married couple.

To enter your property taxes & mortgage interest (if applicable):

1. Click Take me to my return
2. Next, select the Federal Taxes tab and then click the Deductions & Credits tab below it (If you have the blue button Check for more income click it, and then click Skip to see all income)
3. Scroll down to the Your Home section and click the blue hyperlink Show more
4. To enter mortgage interest, click Start/Revisit next to Mortgage Interest, Refinancing, and Insurance. To enter property taxes, click Start/Revisit next to Property (Real Estate) Taxes.
