So, you've heard about the MCC Tax Credit, but you're just not sure it's worth it? What if you told you how much can get?
​
Here's the facts. 

The mortgage interest credit is a non-refundable federal tax credit of 20% to 50% of mortgage interest paid on a primary residence up to $2,000 annually. 

In short, you can save up to $2,000 a year for the entire life of your loan. On a 30-year mortgage, that could be up to $60,000 in interest savings!
