first time homebuyers: New Law Establishes Income Tax Credits for New Home Purchases and First Time Homebuyers - 03/27/10 04:26 AM
As expected, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed AB 183 into law on March 25, establishing two important personal income tax credits for taxpayers who purchase a qualifying principal residence within the state.  The first credit provides up to $10,000 in tax relief over three years for buyers purchasing a new home, defined as a home that has never been occupied.  The second provides up to $10,000 over three years for first-time buyers purchasing an existing home. 
The two credits take effect the day after the deadline to enter into a contract to qualify for the $8,000 federal first-time homebuyer tax credit.  … (0 comments)

New Bill Extends California's Tax Credit for New Home Purchases, Expands to Include Existing Homes Purchased by First-Time Homebuyers
Yesterday, the California State Legislature passed Assembly Bill 183 (AB 183) and sent it to the Governor's office, where it is currently awaiting his signature.  AB 183 establishes a California tax credit for 2010 similar to the one enacted for 2009.  The bill allocates $200 million ($100 million for new home purchases, $100 million for first-time homebuyers) to establish tax credits of up to $10,000 (or 5 percent of the purchase price of the home, whichever is less) for California taxpayers who are either first-time homebuyers … (1 comments)

first time homebuyers: First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit - Proceed with Caution!!! - 10/29/09 01:46 PM
 
The day erupted with excitement surrounding the latest developments on the federal first-time homebuyer tax credit, which provides up to $8,000 in tax relief to eligible buyers. This morning, the U.S. Senate apparently came to an agreement to extend the deadline for the credit that was initially enacted to stimulate home sales and slow the pace of decline in the housing sector. Minutes after the agreement was initially announced, headlines began surfacing in all sorts of media outlets, from major news sources like the Los Angeles Times to real estate blogs throughout the blogosphere. While it is undeniable that something … (3 comments)
