Mortgage Credit Certificate
Information about the Mortgage Credit Certificate
What is it?
• It’s NOT a loan product, but an enhancement
to a loan product
• Allows borrower to use a tax credit.
• Percentage of mortgage interest paid is a direct credit
to federal tax liability
• Remaining mortgage is still a deduction
• Unused credit can be rolled forward for 3 years
What Does That Mean?
• A direct credit to your federal tax
liability
• A larger tax refund
• More monthly income by
reducing monthly withholdings
• If you can’t take all the credit
this year you can roll it over to
next year
• Can use the tax savings to qualify
for a higher loan amount
Who Can Benefit from MCC
• Primary Residence buyers
• Does not allow co-signers
• Cannot be for an investment or a second home purchase
• Amount of credit depends on loan amount and
caps out at $2000/year
