No, that is not a traditional mortgage, so no fees are deductible. 

Also, any payments you receive is not considered income. 

 

A reverse mortgage does not loan you money to purchase a home, so the fees are not deducible and any interest you pay later when you end the reverse mortgage (or you sell the house) also is not considered home mortgage interest.
