5 Homeownership Opportunities Mortgage Credit Certificate Gives the homebuyer the ability to take an annual tax credit of up to $2,000 as long as they occupy the home as their principal residence. TSAHC provides an MCC credit rate of 40%. The MCC has the potential of saving the homebuyer thousands of dollars over the life of the loan.
