"Points" and loan origination fee are one in the same and you can find them on your HUD-1 settlement statement in the following area:

To enter points into TurboTax, follow the below sequence:

Federal Taxes>Deductions &Credits> Your Home, select Mortgage Interest and Refinancing, and Insurance- (See Did you pay points in 2016 when you took out the loan?) page
