What if I refinanced in 2020 in December so there's no 1098 for 2020? Do I just put in the 1098 for my old Mortgage company since they paid the taxes?

Yes, assuming you did not received a 1098 from your new mortgage company you can use the 1098 from your previous Mortgage company.

 

As far as filing taxes goes, claiming a tax deduction for mortgage points is a fairly straightforward process. Mortgage points are considered an itemized deduction and are claimed on Schedule A of Form 1040. Here are the specifics:

• Usually, your lender will send you Form 1098, showing how much you paid in mortgage points and mortgage interest
• Transfer this amount to line 8c of Form 1040 Schedule A
• If any of your points were not included on Form 1098, enter the additional amount you paid on line  Lines 8b and 8c of Form 1040 Schedule A

For many taxpayers, the process really is this simple. In some cases, though, calculating and deducting mortgage points can be tricky. With TurboTax, just answer a few simple questions and we can help you get the proper deduction for your mortgage points.
