Definition & Meaning
The 2011 Form 1098, issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), is a tax document used to report the amount of mortgage interest a lender received from a borrower during the tax year. It serves as a critical tax form for homeowners, as it allows them to itemize deductions on their federal income tax returns. By reporting mortgage interest payments, points paid on purchases and refinancing, and any overpaid interest refunds, taxpayers can potentially enhance their tax deductions.

- Mortgage Interest Amount: Specifies the total interest paid by the borrower throughout the tax year.
- Points Paid: Indicates any points a borrower paid on a mortgage loan, as these may also be deductible.
- Refunds of Overpaid Interest: Any refunds on overpaid interest should be reported to adjust the deduction amount.
- Mortgage Insurance Premiums: If applicable, report any paid premiums, which may be deductible.
