First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit

Have you heard about the First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit? As a first time homebuyer, did you buy a home in 2008 or 2009? Do you plan to buy a home in the next few months? If so, then this tax credit can really benefit you. You probably have questions about whether or not you qualify for this credit. You may also want to know how you get the credit applied to you. These are questions that I can answer! I'd love to help you purchase a home and take advantage of this great opportunity.

Did you know that the IRS defines a first time homebuyer as anyone who has not owned a primary residence in 3 years or more. So if you owned a home in the past and sold it and have been renting for 3 years or more, you qualify under this First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit.

The IRS web site has details about this credit and also a great question and answer section and can be a very helpful source of information. Also, members of the military who have been serving outside of the U.S. have additional time to purchase a home and take advantage of this credit.
