I was thinking. If there is no limit, maybe I can prepay my mortgage ahead in december this year, to claim more for this year; and then take standard deduction (which is like 10k ) for next year, while next years write-off would be worth only like 6K. Does anybody knows anything about that?

You can only write off the INTEREST on your taxes.
