What is A MCC ?
The MCC is a Federal Income Tax Credit program. An MCC provides a double bonus. It increases the loan amount you qualify for and it increases your take-home pay. The MCC entitles you to take a federal income tax credit of thirty-five percent (35%) of the annual interest you pay on your home mortgage. Because the MCC reduces your federal income taxes and increases your net earnings, it is a great help in qualifying for your first home mortgage. But it doesn’t stop there. The MCC is registered with the IRS, and it continues to decrease your federal income taxes each year for as long as you live in your home. This program is one of the many that AHFA and HomeTown Mortgage Services specialize in to make your new home purchase a successful one. Please see some of the other home loan information below as well as always feel free to contact one of our loan officers for additional information on the Alabama MCC Program.
