I am stumped by the question of whether you paid "points" on your mortgage loan. I have looked on my 1098 and that box is 0 however it states differ on my title papers.

Points are not always listed on your 1098 form. But if you paid them and they are on your closing document your can deduct them

See the FAQ below and note what is and is not considered a point. Points paid are deductible for your main home. See this link for the rules. https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901495-can-i-deduct-mortgage-points

If you are unable to locate the points on your closing document, you can call the lender and inquire if you paid them when you got the loan.
