I have a 40x16 ft. deck across the back of my home. Can I add that space to the sq. footage of my home?

Why exactly would you want to? If you add the space for marketing you're not being truthful. A deck is not considered living space because it does not have heat or a ceiling. Do you just want to pay more taxes on it?

Can a couple, one does'nt own a home and the other does own a home, still claim $8K tax credit ?

The answer is NO, not as the credit is written right now. The credit can only be taking by someone who has not owned a home or held a mortgage in the last three years.

Where can I obtain a copy of ALL the standard real estate forms used in NJ to buy a house?

The forms are not available to unlicensed individuals, however your attorney should be preparing all of these documnets for you. If you are not using an agent you absolutely need an attorney in New Jersey. As an owner you are not held to the same standards as a Broker but none-the-less want to be covered on every aspect of the sale. Good luck to you.
