The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 today authorized a $7,500 tax credit for qualified first-time home buyers purchasing homes on or after April 9, 2008 and before July 1, 2009. So, how does it work? First time home buyers purchasing any kind of home—new or resale—are eligible for the tax credit. What constitutes a first time home buyer? A "first-time home buyer" is a buyer who has not owned a principal residence for three years prior to purchasing a property. Home buyers who file their taxes as single or head-of-household can claim the credit if their modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is less than $75,000. Married taxpayers filing a joint tax return can claim the credit if their MAGI is less than $150,000. Some exceptions to this limit apply so be sure to check with your tax consultant or call me and I'll put you in touch with someone who can better explain this to you for your particular situation. The tax credit is 10% of the qualified home purchase price, but the credit is capped at $7,500. Therefore, homes purchased for $75,000 or more, this credit will not exceed $7,500. So, what's the catch you ask? The tax credit must be repaid. But wait, before you stop reading, home buyers will be required to repay the credit to the government, without interest, over 15 years or when they sell the house. The homeowner does not have to begin making repayments on the credit until two years after the credit is claimed. If the homeowner sells the home, then the remaining credit amount would be due from the profit on the home sale. If there is insufficient profit, then the remaining credit payback would be forgiven. For more information about this credit or to get started purchasing your first home, give me a call today!
