Form 8330 (Rev. 11-05)

General Instructions
Section references are to the Internal Revenue
Code unless otherwise noted.
Section 25 permits issuers that have authority
to issue qualified mortgage bonds (as defined in
section 143) to elect to issue MCCs in lieu of
qualified mortgage bonds. See Temporary
Regulations section 1.25-4T(c)(2) for more details.

Purpose of Form
Form 8330 is used by issuers (states and
political subdivisions) of MCCs to provide the
IRS with information required by section 25 and
Temporary Regulations section 1.25-8T(b).

Who Must File
Each issuer that elected to issue MCCs must file
Form 8330 for each qualified mortgage credit
certificate program.

When To File
File Form 8330 on a quarterly basis beginning
with the quarter in which the election was made.
The return for each MCC program is due as
follows:
For the quarter
Form 8330
ending:
is due by:
March 31
April 30
July 31
June 30
September 30
October 31
January 31
December 31
The IRS may grant an extension of time to file
Form 8330 if there is reasonable cause for not
filing on time.
Last Form 8330 for a program. In the quarter in
which the last qualified MCC that may be issued
under a program is in fact issued, the issuer
should check the box marked “Yes” in Part I
relating to a final return for this MCC program.
Thereafter, the issuer is not required to file any
subsequent reports with respect to that MCC
program. See Qualified mortgage credit
certificate program in the definitions below.
Reissued MCCs. Do not report a reissued MCC
on Form 8330. A reissued MCC is considered to
be a continuation of the original MCC. It is
reported by the lender of the replacement loan
on Form 8329, Lender’s Information Return for
Mortgage Credit Certificates (MCCs).
Aggregate number of Forms 8330 filed per
program. Certificates under an MCC program
may be issued for indebtedness that is incurred
up to the close of the 2nd calendar year
following the calendar year for which the issuing
authority made the election to issue MCCs in lieu
of qualified mortgage bonds. Thus, there may be
as many as 12 consecutive quarterly reports to
be filed by the issuer for a particular MCC
program. See section 25(e)(3)(B).
Multiple Forms 8330 filed for a quarter. More
than one Form 8330 may be filed for a particular
quarter for an issuer if the issuer had more than
one MCC program in operation during a
calendar quarter. This may occur where more
than one election was made during a calendar
year, or where certificates still remain to be
issued under one MCC program, after an
election has been made creating another
program.

Where To File
File Form 8330 with the Internal Revenue Service
Center, Ogden, UT 84201.

Penalty
Any person who is required to file Form 8330
and who does not file that return by the due
date or does not include all the MCCs issued on

Page

a timely filed return is subject to a penalty. The
penalty is $200 for each MCC required to be
reported on Form 8330. The maximum penalty is
$2,000.

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.)
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%.
Aggregate amount. The aggregate amount (the
certified indebtedness times the certificate credit
rate for each MCC, totalled for all mortgage credit
certificates issued under a single MCC program),
may not exceed 25% of the nonissued bond
amount for which the election not to issue bonds
was made. See section 25(d)(2).

Specific Instructions
Part I. Reporting Authority
Election date. Enter the date the issuer elected
to issue MCCs in lieu of qualified mortgage
bonds.
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
to convert into authority to issue MCCs. The
amount of qualified mortgage bonds that an
issuer elected not to issue may not exceed the
issuer’s applicable limit (as determined under
section 146(d)).

Part II. Computation of the Total
Amount of Mortgage Credit
Certificates
List only the MCCs issued under the program
elected for the nonissued bond amount shown in
Part I. File a separate Form 8330 for each
separate program that is still open.
Column (a). Enter the certified indebtedness
amount for each MCC issued under the qualified
MCC program.
Column (b). Enter the certificate credit rate
associated with each MCC entered in
column (a).
Column (c). For each certificate amount listed in
column (a), multiply by the certificate credit rate
associated with that certificate (column (b)) and
enter the result in column (c).

If additional space is needed, attach a separate
sheet in the same format as lines 1 through 6 of
Part II of this Form 8330. Include the total amount
of the MCCs listed on the separate sheet(s) only
on line 7 of the Form 8330. You may use an
unsigned copy of a Form 8330 as the separate
sheet.
Line 8. Include the total amount of MCCs issued
for all prior quarters under the MCC program
elected for the nonissued bond amount shown in
Part I, whether or not issued during the current
calendar year.
Line 9. Enter the aggregate, as of the end of the
quarter, of amounts for all certificates issued for
the MCC program elected for the nonissued bond
amount shown in Part I.
Line 10. If the amount on line 9 exceeds 25% of
the nonissued bond amount shown in Part I, see
section 25(f) and Temporary Regulations section
1.25-5T(d) for the appropriate calculation to
reduce the following year’s bond volume cap
under section 146(d).

Part III. Revocation of Qualified
Mortgage Credit Certificates
Identify each holder of a qualified MCC that was
revoked during the calendar quarter. For more
information, see Temporary Regulations section
1.25-3T(m).

Signature
Form 8330 must be signed by an authorized
representative of the issuer.
Leave the paid preparer’s space blank if the
return was prepared by a regular employee of
the issuer. 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 issuer.
