This credit is targeted to lower income individuals to assist them in affording homes. You must first have a qualified Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) from your state or local Housing Finance Agency when you purchased your main home. You may qualify if you paid $2,000 per year.
You can claim both the mortgage interest deduction and credit, but your deduction will be reduced by the amount of the credit.
