What is the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC), also called the Maryland Home Credit? It is a FEDERAL housing program geared to first time home buyers that allows for a federal tax credit on 25% of the mortgage interest paid EACH year for the LIFE of the LOAN!!
This is a DOLLAR for DOLLAR reduction against the borrower's annual federal tax liability. What does that mean? It means that a borrower with an MCC can get up to $2000 back on their Federal taxes every year they have the loan.
