MORTGAGE CREDIT CERTIFICATE
The MCC Program is a first-time homebuyer tax credit program.
With an MCC, a qualified borrower may obtain a credit toward their Federal income tax liability. The MCC tax credit is a calculation based off of the mortgage interest paid. MCC holders may use this credit over the life of the qualifying loan, provided the MCC holder continues to qualify for the MCC. The actual value of an MCC and the associated tax credit will depend on the individual MCC holder’s tax situation.
