If you are interested in reading the actual legislative language of the Home Buying Tax Credit Extension bill, it is available by going to this link: http://bit.ly/3UustY This is an amendment (S.AMDT.2724 to H.R.3548) to the Unemployment Extension Bill as offered by Senator Schumer. As described previously the terms of the expansion to long-time homeowners includes a requirement that they have lived in the same principal residence at least 5 of the last 8 years. The credit will be $6,500 for those individuals. Limitations are set at income of $150,000 single and $225,000 married (previously reported at $250k) Maximum home purchase price is set at $800,000 to qualify for the credit. This will be of more interest in California and High priced regions. Happy reading and remember it is still in amendments to a bill that hasn't passed yet. More legislative "sausage" to be made before we have something to send to the White House for signature.
