$8000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit
The United States Congress passed the final version of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. It was signed into law by President Obama on Tuesday, February 17. The law includes a new Tax Credit for First Time Homebuyers of 10% up to $8000 for purchases through December 1, 2009. The new law replaces the previous $7500 Tax Credit for 1st Time Homebuyers (which was really a loan) that was passed back in July 2008.

- The tax credit is for first-time home buyers only. For the tax credit program, the IRS defines a first-time home buyer as someone who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase.
- The tax credit does not have to be repaid.
- The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the home’s purchase price up to a maximum of $8,000.
- The credit is available for homes purchased on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009.
- Single taxpayers with incomes up to $75,000 and married couples with incomes up to $150,000 qualify for the full tax credit.

Home Buyers have several options to apply the credit. They may choose to have their withholdings adjusted in 2009. They may amend their 2008 tax return to apply the credit. They may apply to their 2009 tax returns.
