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).

each MCC required to be reported on Form 8330.
The maximum penalty is $2,000.

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

Definitions

Line 9. Enter the aggregate, as of the end of the

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.)
Aggregate amount. The aggregate amount (the
certified indebtedness times the certificate credit
rate for each MCC, totaled 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).
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).

to issue may not exceed the issuer’s applicable limit
(as determined under section 146(d)).

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.

amount for each MCC issued under the qualified

following year’s bond volume cap under section
