$8000 Home Buyer Tax Credit

A short video to recap the $8000 home buyer tax credit due to expire Nov 30th. The 5 key points in my video will cover; #1 The deadline and what this means. #2 The IRS' broad definition of what a first time home buyer and who does and doesn't qualify for the credit. #3 Understanding that it truly is a credit and not a deduction or loan that needs to be repaid back. #4 How the credit can or cannot be used in reference to closing costs and down payment. #5 How to amend your 2008 taxes to receive the $8000 credit weeks after closing versus waiting until next Spring to file and the forms needed to receive the credit and amendment.
