GET 20% OF THE INTEREST YOU PAY BACK EVERY YEAR FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS. This Tax credit is better than the 1st tax credit offered by the government.
First Time Home Buyers can still qualify for an amazing Tax Credit that the Government has been offering for a very long time. This tax credit give the Home Owner 20% of the interest he or she pays on the loan back every year. Some of my clients get confused between a credit and a deductions. Every home owner is able to deduct the interest they pay on their home from their income every year. The tax credit is a credit the home ower gets every year. I have explained more in detail below.

What is the difference between a Tax Credit and a Tax Deduction?
A mortgage interest deduction differs from a mortgage tax credit in a number of ways. For example, all homebuyers, regardless of income, may take a mortgage interest deduction, whereas mortgage tax credits are available only to holders of Mortgage Credit Certificate.
A tax deduction or a tax-deductible expense affects a taxpayer's income tax. A tax deduction represents an expense incurred by a taxpayer. They are variable amounts that you can subtract, or deduct, from gross income when the taxpayer computes his or her income taxes. As a result, the tax deduction will lower overall taxable income and thus lower the amount of tax paid.
A tax credit is a similar concept, but is different in that it reduces the tax owed, rather than reducing taxable income. This amount of tax savings is not dependent on the rate the taxpayer pays.
An MCC provides a tax credit, based on a percentage (as determined by the Program guidelines) of the mortgage interest paid annually. The remaining mortgage interest paid annually may still be taken as a tax deduction when the taxpayer computers his or her income taxes.
