The amount is over 2K and it is listed on my Settelment Statement. Mortgage is though Bank of America. I was planning to call IRS and my bank but they are closed on the weekends.

    Dear Eva: You can deduct it but you may need proof of payment by the IRS. Contact your lender or provider and get documentation. If you paid it, deduct it.

    I also have issue with my insurance. I posted my problems on wish123 and got an excellent advise from an expert. I highly recommend the website!

    homeinsurance.awardspace.us – try this one. Got my home insurance from them. As I know they provide such a service.
