Prior year points

[joesteinman]

I just discovered that I should have included points [origination, discount fees] on my tax returns since 2009 [when I purchased my home].  Is there a way to catch up on the lost deductions for prior years [the yearly amortizations]?

You can amend those returns within the statute of limitations.  If timely filed, that would be 2013 forward.  (And the statute for refunds for 2013 expires on April 17, 2017.)
