Tax Credit

The Home Purchase Tax Credit has been Expanded and Extended!

Thanks to the newly extended and expanded homebuyer tax credit, first-time homebuyers may still qualify for an $8,000 tax credit and existing homeowners may qualify for a $6,500 tax credit when they buy a new home. That’s a guaranteed federal tax credit that directly reduces the amount of taxes you owe for the entire year.

You may qualify for the newly extended $8,000 federal tax credit if *:
  • You are a first-time buyer or have not owned a home for the past 3 years
  • You make $225,000 or less if filing as a couple ($125,000 or less if filing single)
  • You enter into a written contract for sale before May 1, 2010 and close on the new home before July 1, 2010
  • You don’t sell the home within 3 years of closing
You may qualify for the newly expanded $6,500 federal tax credit if *:
  • You are an existing homeowner who has owned and lived in your home for any 5 consecutive years out of the last 8 years
  • You make $225,000 or less if filing as a couple ($125,000 or less if filing single)
  • You enter into a written contract for sale before May 1, 2010 and close on the new home before July 1, 2010
  • You don’t sell the home within 3 years of closing
