I am looking at my closing disclosure form and under origination charges is has an amount However, under % of Loan Amount (Points) is is blank. Do I still include the amount?

Origination fees can be deducted as points if they are a percentage of the loan amount (not a percentage of the sales price and not a flat fee) and if they are not allocated to any specific purpose, such as document processing, appraisal, survey, or anything else.)

For example, my mortgage had a $500 application fee.  That was not deductible points because it was not a percentage of the mortgage amount.

Under origination charges is states $1,175.00. So I do not include that when I file?
