Adjust the sliders to estimate your annual tax credit.
The Mortgage Credit Certificate is a federal tax credit—not just a deduction. It reduces your federal income tax liability dollar-for-dollar.
Currently, the Texas MCC provides a credit equal to 15% of the annual mortgage interest you pay, capped at $2,000 per year.
You can still claim the remaining 85% of your mortgage interest as a standard itemized deduction.
