$8,000 Tax Credit For First Time Home Buyers Available Now

05-18-09
Matthew Haviland

Did you know there is a $8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers who purchase a home before November 1st?

This is a historic opportunity for first time home buyers. If you know of anyone who is renting or has not owned a home in the past three years please forward this email with the details on the program.

To stimulate the economy, Congress has passed a tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time buyers.

Overview:

  • The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the home’s purchase price up to a maximum of $8,000.
  • Example: Homes costing $80,000 and above would yield a maximum tax credit of $8,000 for the buyers.
  • The tax credit does not have to be repaid. It is a credit and will show up as a refund for most people.
  • Example: You paid $10,000 in taxes this year and after completing your taxes figured out the IRS owed you a $500 refund. You would now get the $500 refund plus the $8,000 credit or $8,500 total refund.

Requirements:

  • Purchase of the home must be made between Jan. 1, 2009 and Nov. 30, 2009.
  • Buyers must live in the home for 3 years or they will have to pay back the tax refund.
  • Single taxpayers with income up to $75,000 and married couples with incomes up to $150,000 qualify for the full tax credit.
  • You must submit IRS Form 5405! Note:

Check details with an accountant.

Thank you and best wishes, Matthew Haviland

P. S. Who do you know that can take advantage of this $8,000 tax credit?

P.P.S. Because of this new tax credit the demand for affordable first homes has increased and we are starting to see price increases for these homes. Who do you know that is thinking about moving to a larger home who can take advantage of this opportunity to sell high and buy low. Call me at 609-338-3773.
