SOME QUALIFIED MILITARY MAY RECEIVE TAX CREDIT EXTENSION

As the tax credit deadline gets closer, I have a little bit of good news for our military clients serving (or having served) overseas. The House of Representatives voted unanimously Monday to extend the deadline for the home buyers' tax credit for one group of Americans.

HR 3590
will allow eligible military personnel and foreign service and intelligence officers to apply for the $8,000 tax credit for one year beyond its current November 30 deadline. Those meeting the underlying requirements for the credit must also be serving overseas or have spent at least 90 days deployed outside of the country during the current calendar year. It is expected that about 350,000 military personnel and an unknown number of federal employees may be affected by the new law.

The bill, introduced by Representative Charles Rangel (D-NY) because it was thought that families serving overseas were being passed over for this one-time opportunity to purchase a home. It passed the Housed passed with 416 votes and 16 abstentions.

It is anticipated that the bill will also be approved by the Senate, but it is not law yet.
