Form 8329 (Rev. 11-05)

General Instructions
Section references are to the Internal Revenue
Code unless otherwise noted.
Any person who makes a loan that is a “certified
indebtedness amount” on any mortgage credit
certificate (MCC) must maintain books and
records of such activity and file Form 8329. (See
Temporary Regulations section 1.25-8T(a).)
A separate Form 8329 must be filed for each
issue of MCCs for which the lender made
mortgage loans during the calendar year. Each
issue of MCCs corresponds to the MCC program
relating to the nonissued bond amount that was
the subject of the election made on the election
date. Both the nonissued bond amount and the
election date are to be provided in Part II of this
Form 8329.

Purpose of Form
Form 8329 is used by lenders of certified
indebtedness amounts to provide the IRS with
information regarding the issuance of MCCs
under section 25.
The MCC must be issued under a program
that meets the residence requirements of section
143(c). Under these requirements, the residence
must: (1) be a single-family residence that can
reasonably be expected to become the principal
residence of the mortgagor within a reasonable
time after the financing is provided, and (2) be
located in the jurisdiction of the authority issuing
the certificate. See section 25(c)(2) for additional
requirements.

Certified indebtedness amount. The certified
indebtedness amount is the amount of
indebtedness specified in the MCC and incurred
by a taxpayer:
a. To acquire his or her principal residence,
b. To make qualified home improvements on
that residence, or
c. To make a qualified rehabilitation of that
residence.
Certificate credit rate. The certificate credit rate
is the rate specified by the issuer on the MCC.
However, the rate cannot be less than 10% nor
more than 50%. For other limitations, see
Temporary Regulations section 1.25-2T(b).

Specific Instructions
Part I. Reporting Authority
Provide information about the mortgage lender.

Part II. Issuing Authority

Who Must File

Provide information about the mortgage credit
certificate issuer.
Election date. Enter the date the issuing
authority elected to issue MCCs in lieu of
qualified mortgage bonds for the MCC program
that included the amounts listed in Part IV,
column (e).
Nonissued bond amount. Enter the total
amount of qualified mortgage bonds (as defined
in section 143(a)(1) and the related regulations)
that the issuer has authority to issue but elected
instead on the election date to convert into
authority to issue MCCs.

Any person who makes a loan that is a certified
indebtedness amount on any MCC must file
Form 8329.

Part III. Recipients of Mortgage
Credit Certificates

When To File

Column (a). Enter the name(s) of the MCC
holder(s) to whom the lender made certified
indebtedness loan(s) during the calendar year. If
an MCC lists more than one holder, enter all of
the holders on one line.
Column (b). Enter the number and street, city,
state, and ZIP code of the property for which the
MCC was issued. Do not use a P.O. box
number.
Column (c). Enter the social security number(s)
of the holder(s) listed on the MCC.

File Form 8329 by January 31 following the close
of the calendar year in which the lender made
certified indebtedness loans.
The IRS may grant an extension of time to file
Form 8329 if there is reasonable cause for not
filing on time.

Where To File
File Form 8329 with the Internal Revenue Service
Center, Ogden, UT 84201.

Penalty
Any person required to file Form 8329 may be
subject to a $200 penalty for each form that is
not filed by the due date.

Definitions
Mortgage Credit Certificate. A mortgage credit
certificate is a certificate issued under a
“qualified mortgage credit certificate program”
by the state or political subdivision having the
authority to issue qualified mortgage bonds to
provide financing for the acquisition, qualified
rehabilitation, or qualified home improvement of
a taxpayer’s principal residence. For more
information, see section 25(c)(1).
Qualified mortgage credit certificate program.
A qualified mortgage credit certificate program is
a program established for any calendar year by a
state or political subdivision that is authorized to
issue qualified mortgage bonds under section
143 (and for which there has been an
appropriate allocation of state volume cap for
that calendar year under section 146) but elected
instead to issue mortgage credit certificates.
(See section 25(c)(2) for additional requirements.)
The aggregate amount of all mortgage credit
certificates issued under any single MCC
program may not exceed 25% of the nonissued
bond amount for which the election was made.
See section 25(d)(2).

Part IV. Computation of the Total
Amount of Mortgage Credit
Certificates
Column (d). Enter the date the issuing authority
issued the certificate for the amount included in
column (e). Do not give the date the loan was
made nor the date when any preliminary
approval to issue an MCC was given by the
issuer.
If the loan is for a reissued MCC as permitted by
the regulations, the date of the reissued
certificate should be given, preceded by the
word “Reissued.” For example, “Reissued, July
26, 2005.”
Column (f). Enter the certificate credit rate for
each MCC.
Column (g). For each certificate amount listed in
column (e), multiply by the certificate credit rate
associated with that certificate shown in column
(f).
Line 6. This is the aggregate amount of MCCs
issued (Part IV, column (g)) in connection with
the lender’s loans relating to the issuer’s MCC
program for the calendar year. The total should
reflect all of the MCCs described on the lender’s
Form 8329, including any attachments, for the
MCC program for the calendar year.

Additional Entries
If the lender must report on more than 5
mortgage credit certificates, it should report
these additional certificates on an attachment
formatted like Form 8329.
Instead of formatting its own attachment, the
lender may use one Form 8329 as a transmittal
document and use additional Forms 8329 as
attachments. In such a case, draw an “X” across
the 5 lines of Parts III and IV of the Form 8329
used as a transmitting document. Complete the
remainder of this Form 8329, making certain that
all mortgage credit certificate amounts reported
in all the attachments in Part IV, column (g) are
totaled for line 6 of the transmittal document.
Sign only the transmittal Form 8329 and indicate
in the top margin the number of Forms 8329
attached to this Form 8329.
On the attached Forms 8329, show the
lender’s name and employer identification
number in Part I and enter mortgage credit
certificate information on the 5 lines of Parts III
and IV.

Signature
Form 8329 must be signed by an authorized
representative of the lender.
Leave the paid preparer’s space blank if the
return was prepared by a regular employee of
the lender. Otherwise, anyone who is paid to
prepare the return must sign it in the Paid
Preparer’s Use Only area.
The paid preparer must complete the required
preparer information and:
● Sign the return, by hand, in the space
provided for the preparer’s signature (signature
stamps and labels are not acceptable).
● Give a copy of the return to the lender.
