Cómo funciona el programa de MCC

The Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program is authorized by Congress and governed by the Internal Revenue Code Sections 25 and 143. The program provides tax credits to income eligible homebuyers in the following areas: the City of Capitola, the City of Santa Cruz, the City of Scotts Valley, the City of Watsonville, and the unincorporated areas of the County of Santa Cruz.

The Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) reduces the amount of Federal income tax you pay, thus giving you more available income to qualify and pay for a mortgage loan.

If eligible, a buyer will receive a tax credit that is a percentage of the annual interest paid on the mortgage loan. The amount of the credit will not be more than the buyer’s annual Federal income tax liability, after all other credits and deductions have been taken into account. The buyer’s ability to take full advantage of the tax credit will depend on the buyer’s individual tax liability.
