Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC)
Effective 12/22/2017
We are not offering the MCC Program at
this time.
The following is applicable if you currently hold an MCC:
RECAPTURE TAX
A recapture tax may apply only in the event that – you sell your home in the first nine years, and - your income has increased significantly, and - you have a substantial gain on the sale. IRS Form 8828 explains how the tax is calculated.
REFINANCING YOUR PROPERTY
If you refinance your property, the MCC may be reissued if completed within one year of refinance and if you qualify under the program guidelines. The amount on the reissued MCC cannot exceed the outstanding balance of the mortgage prior to refinancing and the certificate credit rate cannot exceed the certificate credit rate specified in the existing certificate. Further restriction apply.
A $375.00 non-refundable application fee must be included in a reissuance request.
