Southlake, Texas - February 17th, 2009 - As you probably have heard, both the House and Senate have passed the stimulus bill on Friday, and the President signed the bill today. This bill includes a $8000 tax credit for first time home buyers, which I will detail below.
The 2008 tax credit provision has been approved as follows:
a. The tax credit is $8,000
b. The income limits are $75,000 for an individual; $150,000 for a couple.
c. The credit is available to first-time home buyers and principal residences only.
d. The tax credit is available until December 1st.
e. Waiver of recapture (i.e. no repayment requirement) for properties purchased in 2009 prior to December 1st
1. The provision is retroactive to purchases made on or after January 1, 2009.
2. Recapture section does apply to properties sold in first three years.
f. Waiver of prohibition on financing by mortgage revenue bonds is included
To give a simple example of the way the $8000 tax credit works, is that if the first time home buyer was going to get a $1,000 back on their income tax, now they would get $9,000. If they had to pay $1,000 they now would get back $7,000.
Below is the link to the tax credit provision. (page 24)
