Illinois Assist Program
Mortgage Credit Certificate Program
MCC’s are a federally authorized program created to reduce effective interest costs for qualifying homebuyers
MCC’s allow the homebuyer to qualify for a federal income tax credit equal to a percentage of the interest paid on their home loan each year, up to a maximum of $2,000 per year
MCC holders still qualify for a regular deduction of the remaining interest paid on their home loan
