I posted some information yesterday that's blowing the socks off of the people who get it, but maybe I wasn't clear enough in my initial post to help enough people 'GET IT.'
I'll try to be more direct:
If you or your client qualify for the New $8K Home Buyer Tax Credit, you/they can claim it on their 2008 (last year's) tax return and GET THE MONEY NOW, BEFORE BUYING A HOUSE. This means, that money can be used toward down-payment and/or closing costs.
Did everyone get that? GET THE MONEY BEFORE BUYING A HOUSE!
Now, there are some caveats to this deal, so make sure you read all the details and check with your CPA to get clarification on the advantages and disadvantages to this approach. I'm not a Tax Pro, so make sure you cover yourself by checking with your Tax Pro on this BEFORE taking any action!
