No, qualified  mortgage insurance provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs is commonly known as a funding fee. The funding fee can either be included in the amount of the loan or paid in full at the time of closing and cannot be deducted in 2017 because it is considered Mortgage Insurance, not points or original fees.

However, the deduction Mortgage Interest expired last year, so it is not deductible on your current 2017 tax return.
