MORTGAGE CREDIT CERTIFICATE TAX CREDIT PROGRAM
As a result of possible federal tax reform, please see below for important MCC reminders:

- As of November 17, 2017, a Mortgage Credit Certificate may not be used for credit qualifying purpose for any CalHFA first mortgage loan.

- All loans must be closed AND the complete MCC package must be submitted AND cleared of deficiencies by eHousingPlus on or prior to December 18, 2017 so MCC certificates may be issued prior to year-end. There is no guarantee that MCC certificates can be issued for any MCC package not meeting the deadline.

- Lenders may continue to reserve MCCs for non-credit qualifying purposes, but be mindful of the December 18, 2017 deadline.

- CalHFA first mortgage loans in which an MCC was used for credit qualifying purposes that have not closed by December 18, 2017 AND fail to meet the above deadline may be subject to re-underwriting and requalifying without the MCC

Due to the uncertain outcome of the tax reform legislation, CalHFA will not obtain any additional allocation for MCCs in the future. Please see the eHousingPlus system for remaining availability figures for CalHFA's MCC program.
