$8000 HomeBuyers Tax Credit

 

The Tax Credit is for home buyers (either spouse if filing jointly) who have NOT owned a principle residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase.  Ownership of vacation property or rental property does not disqualify home buyers from this program.

  1. The maximum credit is $8,000 or 10% of the home purchase, whichever is less. 
  2. The credit is available for homes purchased on or after January 1, 2010, under contract before April 30th, 2010 and closed by June 30th, 2010 
  3. There is also a tax credit available for homeowners who wish to buy up and have owned their home for 5 or more years. The amount of this credit is $6500.
  4. The full amount of the eligible tax credit is refunded to the buyer, regardless of whether the buyer has paid an equivalent amount in taxes. 
  5. Please feel free to call me for more information or to purchase your new home!
