On your income tax there is what's called the standard deduction. I think its currently a little under $6000 for singles. Everyone gets to subtract this from their income. However, if your interest on your home mortgage plus your state taxes add up to more then $6000 then you should put them on Schedule A (called itemizing) and you will be able to subtract more then the standard deduction. If you are married & filling jointly then the standard deduction is a little under $11000 and your mortgage interest + state taxes would have to be more then this to get anymore deducted from your income.
