You can enter your mortgage interest in TurboTax using your Form 1098. You may not have one, but if you think it applies to you, you can ask your mortgage lender or whoever helped you with the purchase of your home.
A mortgage credit certificate (MCC) is typically issued by a state or local housing finance agency to eligible, first-time homebuyers, and it allows them to claim a tax credit for a portion of their mortgage interest.
Generally, MCCs are for low-to-moderate-income, first-time homebuyers, though specific eligibility requirements vary by state and program.
