Yes, but get your receipt from the company to whom it was paid and keep it with your taxes. This is first year it’s deductible, so companies may not yet be up to snuff on listing it.

Yes you can deduct Mortgage insurance premiums this year! You treat it the same as you would mortgage interest.
There are a couple of stipulations. The mortgage insurance contract must have been issued after 2006 and the premiums must have been paid before 2008. So its only if you have recently bought a home. Also, if you made more than $109,000 if filing jointly or $54,500 if filing separately, you don’t qualify for the deduction
