Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN) recently introduced H.R. 1662, Common Sense Housing Investment Act of 2015. The proposed bill would replace the mortgage interest deduction with a 15 percent flat rate tax credit on interest paid on mortgages up to $500,000. The tax credit would be available to all homeowners, regardless of whether they claim the standard deduction or itemize their tax deductions.
