21.13: Mortgage Interest Tax Credit

Lower Interest Payments by Creating a New Mortgage Interest Tax Credit

Other Information:

Many middle class Americans do not receive the existing mortgage interest tax deduction because they do not itemize their taxes. Obama and Biden will ensure that middle-class Americans get the financial assistance they need to purchase or keep their own home by creating a 10 percent universal mortgage credit that gives tax relief to 10 million Americans who have a home mortgage.
