2021?   What are you trying to do?   The current online program can only be used for a 2025 tax return.

Points you pay on your main home may be deductible most commonly on the year that you paid them (most common) or can be deducted in equal increments over the life of the loan.  You would need to itemize your deductions to get this deduction and include them on your 2021 return.  The difference the points would make on your return, depends on the amount of points you paid and if you itemized your deductions in 2021.  

If you have not filed your 2021 tax return, you can add the points on your return.  If you filed your 2021 return and the points you can file an amended return.
