No. 62502X Form 8396 (2023) Page 2 Form 8396 (2023) General Instructions Specific Instructions Future Developments Part I—Current Year Mortgage Interest Credit For the latest information about developments related to Form 8396 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, go to www.irs.gov/Form8396. Line 1 Purpose of Form Use Form 8396 to figure the mortgage interest credit for 2023 and any credit carryforward to 2024. Who Can Claim the Credit You can claim the credit only if you were issued a qualified Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) by a state or local governmental unit or agency under a qualified mortgage credit certificate program. Homestead Staff Exemption Certificates, and certificates issued by the Federal Housing Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Farmers Home CAUTION Administration, do not qualify for the credit. The home to which the certificate relates must be your main home and must also be located in the jurisdiction of the governmental unit that issued the certificate. If the interest on the mortgage was paid to a related person, you cannot claim the credit. ! ▲ Refinanced Mortgage You can refinance your mortgage without losing this credit if your existing MCC is reissued and the reissued certificate meets all of the following conditions. • It must be issued to the holder(s) of the existing certificate for the same property. • It must entirely replace the existing certificate. The holder cannot retain any portion of the outstanding balance of the existing certificate. • The certified indebtedness on the reissued certificate cannot exceed the outstanding balance shown on the existing certificate. • The credit rate of the reissued certificate cannot exceed the credit rate of the existing certificate. • The reissued certificate cannot result in a larger amount on line 3 than would otherwise have been allowable under the existing certificate for any tax year. For each tax year, you must determine the amount of credit that you would have been allowed using your original MCC. To do this, multiply the interest that was scheduled to be paid on your original mortgage by the certificate rate on your original MCC. The result may limit your line 3 credit allowed when you have a reissued MCC, even if your new loan has a lower interest rate. If the certificate credit rates are different in the year you refinanced, attach a statement showing separate calculations for lines 1, 2, and 3 for the applicable parts of the year when the original MCC and the reissued MCC were in effect. Combine the amounts from both calculations for line 3. Enter that total on line 3 of the form and enter “see attached” on the dotted line next to line 2. For more details, see Regulations section 1.25-3(p). Enter the interest you paid during the year on the loan amount (certified indebtedness amount) shown on your MCC. In most cases, this will be the amount in box 1 on Form 1098, Mortgage Interest Statement, or on a similar statement you received from your mortgage holder. If the loan amount on your MCC is less than your total mortgage loan, you must allocate the interest to determine the part that relates to the loan covered by the MCC. See Pub. 530 for an example of how to allocate the interest. Line 2 The certificate credit rate cannot be less than 10% or more than 50%. Line 3 If you refinanced, see Refinanced Mortgage on this page. If the certificate credit rate shown on line 2 is more than 20%, multiply line 1 by line 2, but do not enter more than $2,000 on line 3. If you and someone else (other than your spouse if filing jointly) held an interest in the home, the $2,000 limit must be allocated to each owner in proportion to the interest held. See Dividing the Credit in Pub. 530 for an example of how to make the allocation. Reduction of home mortgage interest deduction on Schedule A (Form 1040). If you itemize your deductions on Schedule A, you must reduce the amount of home mortgage interest you would otherwise deduct on Schedule A by the amount on Form 8396, line 3, and report the reduced amount on Schedule A. You must do this even if part of the amount on line 3 is carried forward to 2024. Line 8—Credit Limit Worksheet Keep for Your Records 1. Enter the amount from Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR, line 18 . . . . . . . . 1. 2. Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR filers: Enter the total of all amounts (if any) from Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 19*; Schedule 3 (Form 1040), lines 1 through 4, 6d, 6f, 6l, and 6m; and Form 5695, line 32**. Form 1040-NR filers: Enter the total of all amounts (if any) from Form 1040-NR, line 19*; Schedule 3 (Form 1040), lines 1, 2, 4, 6f, 6l, and 6m; and Form 5695, line 32** . . 2. 3. Subtract line 2 from line 1. Enter this amount on Form 8396, line 8. If zero or less, enter -0- here and on Form 8396, lines 8 and 9, and go to Part II of Form 8396 . . . . . 3. * If you are directed to complete Form 8396 by Credit Limit Worksheet B in the Instructions for Schedule 8812 (Form 1040), include the amount from line 14 of Credit Limit Worksheet B instead of the amount from Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR, line 19. ** If applicable. Recapture of Credit Part II—Mortgage Interest Credit Carryforward to 2024 If you buy a home using an MCC and sell it within 9 years, you may have to recapture (repay) some of the credit. See Pub. 523, Selling Your Home; and Form 8828, Recapture of Federal Mortgage Subsidy. If the amount on line 9 is less than the amount on line 7, you may have an unused credit to carry forward to the next 3 tax years or until used, whichever comes first. The current year credit is used first and then the prior year credits, beginning with the earliest prior year. If you have any unused credit to carry forward to 2024, keep a copy of this form to figure your credit for 2024. Additional Information See Pub. 530, Tax Information for Homeowners, for more details. If you are subject to the $2,000 credit limit because your certificate credit rate is more than 20%, no amount over the $2,000 limit (or your prorated share of the $2,000 if CAUTION you must allocate the credit) may be carried forward for use in a later year. ! ▲

Form 8396 is a Federal Individual Income Tax form. States often have dozens of even hundreds of various tax credits, which, unlike deductions, provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability. Some common tax credits apply to many taxpayers, while others only apply to extremely specific situations. In most cases, you will have to provide evidence to show that you are eligible for the tax credit, and calculate the amount of the credit to which you are entitled.

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
