more payments in calendar year

[Jim Issa]

hello folks , i recently purchased a primary residence home and my first mortgage payment was in November 2016 i know that you can only make 12 (13) payments per calendar year and deduct only the interest paid during these 12 months in your tax return now in my case i want to get more tax refund , shall i make more payments in 2016 so i can pay more interest and deduct that extra amount ? or i can only deduct interest for 2 payments in 2016? thank u
