Michigan MCC Program in Michigan
The Michigan Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) is a powerful federal tax credit program issued by MSHDA that gives qualified first-time buyers a dollar-for-dollar tax reduction equal to 20% of annual mortgage interest paid.
Who This Loan Program Is Designed For
Eligible Michigan first-time homebuyers looking to boost qualifying income and save thousands in annual federal taxes.
How Michigan MCC Program Works
The 20% tax credit reduces your federal tax liability directly. Furthermore, lenders can add this tax savings back into your monthly qualifying income, allowing you to qualify for a higher mortgage amount.
