Can you have the calculator figure out the interest paid per year for tax purposes?

Bret's Amortization Calculator FAQ
To handle this properly requires that the calculator know when a fiscal year begins and ends, and therefore requires some knowledge of dates (see previous question). However, you can sidestep the issue and do the calculation manually. Suppose that payment 31 is the final payment of the previous fiscal year, and payment 57 is the final payment of the current fiscal year. To get the interest paid during the current fiscal year, subtract Cum Int for payment 31 from Cum Int for payment 57.
