After you file

HACKITOFF, you misread the form number that the OP asked about.  Form 8396 is indeed the form for the mortgage credit certificate (MCC), while the Mortgage Credit Certificate is not commonly known, it is a real thing.  I too have an MCC and when I was working on my return the other day I received a notice from TT that the form was not ready in this program yet, but should be available when it is time to file next week.
