Buyer’s Tax Credit

In its efforts to stimulate the economy and revive the housing market, Congress has enacted legislation providing a tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time home buyers.

But time is of the essence for buyers who want to take advantage of this opportunity. Only homes purchased on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009 are eligible.

Unlike the tax credit enacted in 2008, the new credit does not have to be repaid.
Here is more information:

• Tax credit is for first-time home buyers only
• Tax credit does not have to be repaid
• Tax credit is equal to 10% of the home’s purchase price up to a maximum of $8,000
• The Credit is available for homes purchased on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009
• Single taxpayers with incomes up to $75,000 and married couples with incomes up to $150,000 qualify for the full tax credit
