An Annual Mortgage Tax Credit is Still Available!

The Tax Credit Reduces what you are Taxed by IRS!

Discounted Program Fee $1000 cut to $500!

A Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) is a tax credit that reduces your federal income tax liability, if you have one. Your tax liability is the amount the IRS taxes you for your earnings, not the amount that you are due or refunded. Each year, the tax credit equals 20% of your annual mortgage interest paid. You can continue to receive a tax credit for as long as you have a mortgage on your home, even if you refinance. Your lender may be able to use the amount you will receive from the tax credit as part of your income, for a loan qualification purposes.
