New Loans – The loan must be made to acquire a home and may not be used to refinance a home or pay off an existing home/mortgage. Prohibited Loans – MCCs may not be issued for loans funded from a mortgage revenue bond program or for loans made by persons related to the buyer. No interest may be paid to a person related to a buyer. Recapture Tax – If the holder of the MCC disposes of the home within the full 9 years after issuance of the MCC or it ceases to be the MCC holder’s principal residence, a portion of the tax credit may be subject to recapture pursuant to section 143(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
