Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation has been designated with authority under the Tax Act to issue Mortgage Credit Certificates ("MCCs") to qualified Borrowers. Generally, MCCs entitle qualified Borrowers to a credit (the "Credit") against their Federal income tax as a percentage of the interest paid on a Mortgage Loan. Under current law, the amount of the Credit shall not exceed the amount of federal income tax paid by the Borrower in the year in which the Credit is taken, but Credits may be carried forward and offset against federal income taxes for a period of three (3) years. Borrowers will apply for Credits through participating Mortgage Lenders, and will be issued an MCC by the Corporation provided that the requirements of the Tax Act and MCC Program have been satisfied.
