Program Details
The MCC Program allows homebuyers to claim a portion of their annual mortgage interest as a tax credit on their federal tax return. This may support increased disposable income and is administered by AHFA. Buyers may combine MCC with Step Up and other down payment programs to maximize their benefits.
How MCC Helps:
-
The MCC benefit can be claimed every year as long as you live in the home and keep the mortgage.
-
The tax credit does not prevent you from also claiming the mortgage interest deduction.
