  2. What is an MCC?

  3. The Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC)Program was authorized by Congress in the 1984 Tax Reform Act as a means of providing housing assistance to families of low and moderate income. It is an alternative to the bond (MRB) program. The MCC is a tax credit that reduces the amount of federal income tax paid and provides additional available income to help qualify for a mortgage loan and assist with the new house payment. The SETH MCC is available to buyers purchasing a residence in SETH’s jurisdictions and meeting required household income and purchase price limits. Buyers may be subject to paying a federal recapture tax if they do not remain during the recapture period (usually 9 years.)

  4. A Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) provides a federal income tax credit to the borrower for as long as they own and occupy their home. Tax credits are a powerful way of increasing a family’s annual income.

  5. What does an MCC do? The federal government allows each homeowner to claim an itemized income tax deduction for the amount of interest paid each year on the mortgage loan. A deductionreduces the amount of income that is taxed. The MCC Program takes a portion of the mortgage interest paid and turns it into a tax credit. A tax credit is an amount returned to the buyer either by increasing the amount refunded in their tax return or decreasing the amount of taxes owed. Because they are good for the life of the loan, an MCC may save a homeowner thousands of dollars as long as the certificate holder is living in the home. MCC’s may be used with any loan type EXCEPT an MRB loan.

  6. The 2008 SETH MCC Program provides a tax credit of 30% of the interest that the homeowners pays annually on their mortgage loan. The credit may be taken annually or monthly. The maximum tax credit a homeowner can claim is limited to $2,000. Unused tax credits can be carried forward for up to 3 years to offset future income tax liabilities.
