Congress Enacts Bigger and Better Home Buyer Tax CreditA tax credit of up to $8,000 is now available for qualified first-time home buyers purchasing a principal residence on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009. Unlike the tax credit enacted in 2008, the new credit does not have to be repaid.
The site, www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com, is divided into four sections: an overview of the tax credit and eligibility requirements; frequently asked questions; the law's other provisions; and homebuying resources.
