$8,000 FIRST TIME BUYER TAX CREDIT - CHECK RECEIVED !!!!

This is an actual check from one of my First Time Buyers who bought a home last month, and immediately filed his 2008 tax return - which he had already filed an extension for - and this week received the above check !

... before his home purchase, his return was going to give him a refund of approximately $4,000 !!!! ... as you can see, he qualified for the tax credit, and received $8,000 additional dollars from the government for buying his home.

@@@ FOR FURTHER INFORMATION - BE SURE TO CONSULT YOUR ACCOUNTANT TO SEE IF YOU CAN RECEIVE THIS YOURSELF @@@

Per the IRS.gov website, you may qualify to receive this credit if you meet the following qualifications:

"... qualifying taxpayers who buy a home before Dec. 1, 2009, can claim the credit on either their 2008 or 2009 tax returns. They do not have to repay the credit, provided the home remains their main home for 36 months after the purchase date. They can claim 10 percent of the purchase price up to $8,000, or $4,000 for married individuals filing separately.

The amount of the credit begins to phase out for taxpayers whose adjusted gross income is more than $75,000, or $150,000 for joint filers.

For purposes of the credit, you are considered to be a first-time homebuyer if you, and your spouse if you are married, did not own any other main home during the three-year period ending on the date of purchase."

The credit itself:

Applies to purchases that close after April 8, 2008, and before Dec. 1, 2009.
Applies only to homes used as a taxpayer's principal residence.
Reduces a taxpayer's tax bill or increases his or her refund, dollar for dollar.
Is fully refundable, meaning the credit will be paid out to eligible taxpayers, even if they owe no tax or the credit is more than the tax owed.

So if you were considering buying a home this year - be sure to talk to your accountant as you may also qualify to get $8,000 extra dollars for buying your first home !

ALSO: Be sure to check out a post from respected Loan Officer Jeff Belonger explaining how you may be able to receive an 'up front loan' for this credit to use towards closing costs or additional downpayment over your mandatory 3.5% payment on your FHA loan !

@@@PLEASE NOTE: ALL INFORMATION ABOVE DEEMED RELIABLE PER THE IRS.GOV WEBSITE, HOWEVER IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY POINT ON ANY DAY ! - CONSULT YOUR TAX ACCOUNTANT BEFORE EXPECTING ANY PORTION OF THIS CREDIT.

@@@@ UPDATED: BELOW IS THE FORM NEEDED TO FILE FOR THIS CREDIT IF YOU QUALIFY - YOUR ACCOUNTANT SHOULD HAVE IT AND WALK YOU THOUGH IT ! GOOD LUCK !

Sheldon, the proof is in the picture! A great opportunity for all first time home buyers! Thanks for a great post today!

Sheldon-Nothing makes you smile more than a guaranteed check in hand. <SMILE>

Hi Mary !! I've been so darn busy I havent been able to check on you as much as usual !! I'm heading over to your blog now...

... yours too Sharonah !!! (especially if there's friendly Bison in your latest post ;o) lol

Sheldon,

Just one word...AWESOME....

Very cool. They must be doing the happy dance.

Hi Lori ! - Yep - it's just nice to see one of these government promises actually come to fruition - hope you are well !

Hi Sal ! - He certainly is a Happy Camper !! - Hey great post about your outside blog btw :o)

Sheldon, what is amazing to me is YOU have the check. How did you pull that one off? Great client relations.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH !!!!!! .... I told you I develop close relationships with my clients !!!

... heck some like this guy even 'sign over' their tax refunds to me !!!! LOLOLOLOLOL

Sheldon..You are such a charmer. tweet this .only you could pull that off..I love it...Great post

Helpfulhannah your friend in Philadelphia

nannie hannie 4U

Hi Nannie Hannie !!! ... must be the accent !!!!!! LOL

why did you black out their information? It's not like it's a big deal. We're all friends here. ;)

MAY

@Greg...=)!

Sheldon ~ It pays to have a terrific Real Estate agent like yourself whom I am sure passed the $8000 tax credit information along to your client! Great job representing you clients and getting the check in your hands as well!

Hi Sheldon! Don't you just LOVE that your first-timers can use their 2008 returns (if they're extended) to get that $8K NOW?! And, did your clients do the extension in anticipation of this refund? Just curious--most who are getting back are the FIRST to file!! Those days are LONG gone for me--but, I'm not really complaining...or am I?!

Have a wonderful weekend...

Sheldon, hmmm... how did you get that check?

It is a great thing for sure. I bet they put that to good use!

Greg ! - For some reason he asked me to do that ????? LOL !

Terrie - Yep we discussed it first, and the timing worked out well :o)

Hi Debe ! They can even get it now if they filed already, by filing an 'amendment' to their 08 return ! My client just knew that we were in the process of buying before we actually closed, so he filed an extension, we closed and he filed the complete return at once - including a little application for an $8K credit !!!!! :o)

Hi Andrea ! - When he told me about receiving the check I asked him if I could get a copy to prove to my other buyers that it is for real and you will get the actual $$$ ! :o)

Sheldon, I can just hear you telling your client "Don't cash that, I'll be right over" to get your picture :) It's nice to know it works and I'm happy for you and your client!

Well, you can't deny the proof, great job in posting this. Dang, any reason we can't reblog for our local communities.

Sheldon, it's so much fun to see somebody's actual real check! For a second there, I thought that check might be yours!

Sheldon...

We had a buyer pull out of a deal this week and elected to rent instead ... what a wasted opportunity, as he lost his chance at this amazing credit that would have netted him money in his pocket!

it's great to see that it's not taking too long for the checks to come in.

The proof is in the pudding..or in this case the check. Thanks for posting this is great info to spread around.

Hi Carole ! That is almost EXACTLY how the conversation went ! ...something like this ...

Client: "Hey Sheldon ! That $8,000 tax credit we talked about - Guess What - I GOT IT IN THE MAIL ALREADY !!"

Sheldon: "Wow thats fabulous !!! - Hey any way you can scan it and email me a copy - of course I'll black your name and address out, but I'd love to share it with my buyers who dont know if they will really get the check or not ???"

Client: "Sheldon, for you, anything !.... in fact I'll even send you half the refund just because you're the greatest Realtor EVER...."

OK well he didnt say the last part, but the first two paragraphs he did !!! LOL !

Missy ! - I turned on the Re-Blog just for you

Sheldon -

After considerable initial fanfare, awareness of this credit has died down. It is up to us in the business to remind our clients and prospective clients about this.

It is a BIG INCENTIVE, and will kick some reluctant first-time buyers over the fence.

We've had 5 so far this year already.

DEAN & DEAN'S TEAM CHICAGO

Sheldon, Thanks for this information. We have a couple of clients that are in a position to do the same thing but we hadn't talked to anyone who had actually gone through the entire process.

YOU GO YOU GO! Good for you get a copy of this to be in your testimonial...! A little marketeer you are! Glad to see you are doing great.

That is nice.... a buyer who is "in the market" and gets a reward!

Sheldon, that picture just made more sense than the bazillion words written on the subject. Thank your clients for me, for allowing you to share it. :)

You may need to block the car code as well. I'm pretty sure all the information could be read by a bar code reader.

Sheldon, thank you for such a great visual! I've reblogged your post because I couldn't have made the point better myself! This is the one thing available to a really large group of folks which IS worth the paper it is printed on! LOL!

Lovely picture. So this tax credit is not just a rumor, eh? I find so much confusion with the public on this so this is a big help. Thanks.

Hi Sheldon, I re-blogged this as did many others, apparently! LOL. Your buyers must be very happy with the great job you did for them.

I love it - that is absolutely terrific. So powerful when you see it in the flesh!

Sheldon - Very cool my friend! Congrats! Job well done and why does everyone want to know why you have the check? ha ha.... What's going on here? lol

Thanks for posting a copy of the c heck. That makes it more real and a great post! My daughter has just informed me that she knows someone who has amended their 2008 return and gotten the money!

That's great you got this done for your buyer. Hopefully many more will take advantage of the opportunity to receive the credit.

Hey Sheldon . . . you are an early bird! Early to bed, early to rise, makes a (wo)man healthy, weathly and wise.

Or, in my case narotic (I was up at 5:00 a.m. for some reason -- maybe HEARING those early birds TWITTING?!?)

Anyway, GREAT news to share with us, no matter what time! And good info for me to pass along to my clients. Do you know the IRS Form # for the buyer to apply for the credit, or claim the credit?

Thanks!

Sheldon.... so where are we going to dinner? Some place nice in Manhattan I hope. ;o)

@ Donna H. .... just word of caution.. I would be carefull telling people that the checks come back quickly. I know of 2 people that filed for the extension and it's been over 2 months and they still haven't received their tax credit checks.Just food for thought on how we explain this to buyers.

jeff belonger

Carla - the form is #5405 - I just added it to the original post :o)

Sheldon, What a great informative post and just the happy news everyone needs to hear about.

Sheldon - a picture is worth a thousand words! Now we have proof it can happen. There are lots of buyers who are taking advantage of this program, or plan to. I am still surprised that some are not aware of it. Glad to see you included the form - some don't realize this is required or how to go about getting the credit.

Jeff

Jeff B !!! LOL !! Yep - I have some contacts in the media who can get us into some exclusive venues - but you need to make sure we dont get THROWN OUT OF ANY OF THESE JOINTS !!!! lolol !!!!!

Sheldon, that is about the amount I owed the government this year! This is wonderful for your client, proof that the stimulus really works!

Sheldon - that is very good information and a very good post. Congrats to your clients.

WOW! Now that is a much quicker turn around than I would have expected! Way to go for you and your client!!

;)

Really cool post. That works so well to visualize what you can get!

Sheldon,

Very cool for your Buyer to "share" the check with everyone!

I'm impressed that he received it so quick from IRS? Geez, aren't these the same guys that penalize you if you don't pay on time...but when you have a refund you could die an early age sitting by your mailbox waiting for the "check in the mail!" HA!

Thanks for sharing that very, very cool story.....proof it does work!

Thanks for a great post, no wonder it is featured. This is a great story to share with our buyers. With your permission, I would like to print flyers of this post for my clients. Great job.

Thanks for reminding buyers that there actually is a government program that works as it was intended. This is a great opportunity for those who qualify.

Sheldon - I appreciate the visuals that you used here. It makes an even stronger impact! Nice post, my friend.

Sheldon thank you sooo much for sharing this with us. This blog is great for potential home buyers who are not sure of buying. Have a great weekend. Great post.

Sheldon - This visual will certainly motivate others to get off the fence. Allowing you to use their check in your post is an indication of the relationship you developed with your clients. I also liked the fact that you showed the tax form the first time buyer would have to fill out. Congratulations!

Pat K - If I were a first time buyer this check would DEFINITELY be mine !!!!! lol

Richard - That type of person is missing out big time, because who knows if they will renew this program next year - probably not !

Donna - I know two people now who got their checks in less than a month, although I'm sure there are cases where it is taking longer. Bottom line, if you qualify, you'll get $8,000 buckarooos !

Rebecca ! - I was so happy he said I could use it so I could post the 'pudding' !!! LOL

Dean - Thats what I was thinking too - and if it dies down and people forget about it, they may miss out on a some extra loot in their pocket !!!

Yvette & Dennis - Sometimes people need to see actual results to get them off the fence - I am sending this to all my 'hesitant' buyers to show the visual incentive !!!

Ha Ha Eileen ! - I told him I'd buy him lunch if I could use it !!! lol...jus' kidn ... I have a great relationship with this client....

Gary W - Yep - nice to see huh ! :o)

Candice - I thought the same thing :o)

Norma - Thanks for the heads up ! I blacked that too !

SarahGray !! - Oh yes ! I'll take that 'paper' any day !! LOL !!

Joe P - It's real !

Shirley - I guess he has enough faith in me huh ! ...cheers Shirley !

Good information, but really laughing at your comment about him sharing half his credit with you. HAHA.

Sheldon - Awesome! Nothing better to showcase proof than the pudding itself. Of note, I'm a much cheaper date than Mr. Belonger:)

J-Sard !!! ROFL !!!!! ... hmmm interesting ! ... how about my local Irish bar 2 blocks from my house ?? ... no celebrities ...no frills, well except the occasional bagpipers or Irish Band on Firday nights ???

Sheldon: This is great .. Thanks for sharing this check with everyone..

Yup! And in any case I sent all my clients the info from the IRS site with the form/instructions as well. good job Sheldon!

Sheldon - I LOVE BAGPIPES!

HAHAHA !!! ROWDY RODDY !!!! ....Classic !!!!!

Sheldon you rock! I love this post and must repost so my 1st timers get it! BTW you really do deserve half of it! I know you do.....come on ........admit it!!

Enjoy your weekend!

Anna Banana

This is an awesome program that First Time Home Buyers can take advantage of. Soon they will be able to apply it to the purchase itself and not have to wait till tax time. Anxiously awaiting HUD to release the details!!! Congrats to you and your clients!!!

Sheldon, Thanks so much, I scanned the check , filled in the vitals and deposited this morning! WOW, I never knew Active Rain could be such a money machine! "DOH"

LOL @Russell !!! ..YET ANOTHER benefit of being a RainMaker huh !!!! Ha Ha !

OMG!!! It is a real live, honest to goodness IRS check for a first time home buyer! Sometimes we only hear of such things...today we got to actually see one!!! Good job and congrats to your buyers on their home and their credit!

Wow, most impressive to have that check in hand & what a story to be able to share w/all of us!! Great job SHeldon!

Great job Sheldon! Congratulations on the feature!

Now at the top of the Optimist Group also.

Sheldon - I'm almost CERTAIN that someone else has commented by saying " A picture is worth a thousand words", but in case they haven't - consider it said. Very cool post!

Does anybody know how long it is taking to receive the $8K if you file an AMENDED tax return?

Great blog. I reblogged it hoping some of my readers might get inspired to buy! Thanks!

Lori C - The only person I know so far who filed an "Amended" return, got her check two months later. My client here got his in one month, but he had filed an extension and just submitted with his regular return.

Very nice. We've had several buyers who are taking advantage of that benefit.

That is AWESOME! It is so exciting when buyers get that kind of credit when they buy a home. I am hopeful a lot of buyers will take advantage of this incentive before it is too late.

It would have REALLY made a story if your client had truly said that last line!! Great post, Sheldon.

Hi Sheldon, it's fun just looking at a big ol' check like that!

Way to go.

Educating your customers is so important. Not too many people KNOW if they have NOT bought a house within the past 3 years, they qualify for the $8,000 credit too.

I did some consulting and some web design with this Cincinnati Real Estate broker site. TREO Realtors. Take a look at the home page, and the $8,000 page we created for them. This is the kind of stuff all agents need to be educating your next time home buyers on.

In November 2008 we had 11 months of home inventory at or near the $500,000 price point. In May 2009, that inventory dropped to about 5.5 months. So technically speaking, we can all say the recession ended about seven or eight weeks ago. Even in slow markets like Santa Fe NM -- home sales are picking up.

-- Bartman

Good stuff bro - I was at least the 6th to reblog!

Hi, Sheldon

I also have three clients, who have gotten their home tax credit also. It is so good to see these home buyers getting these checks. It helps us all!!

Tinker

Steve ! - you are the 16th ReBlog right now !!! Shows how much impact a 'picture' can have huh !!! lol !

Tinker !!! <-- Great name :o) ... I agree entirely ! There's so much negative press right now with this credit and other industry items, that it's great to see many people getting something great ! ... like 8 grand !!!!

Bartman ! Great Stuff !! .... thats really great information ...thanks :o)

Ann A ! - Love to see big fat checks like that !!!! ...now I just have to find one with my name on it ?!?!?!? lol !

Seeing is believing, I just re-blogged this, thanks so much!

I am going to re-blog. Nice to see and show the proof. Thanks for sharing.

Sheldon~

You made a ton of folks smile today. Seeing that check , the reality of it, may inspire confidence in foks who were just on the point of making buying decisions...so I'm reBlogging your post with its link to Jeff's post within. Thanks.

This is a great post today for sure....I love it and the picture of the check is terrific!!

Patricia Aulson

It's great that you added the actual tax form. Thank you. However, if you have buyers who make over $75,000, it's possible that the MAXIMUM $8000 tax credit would be reduced. And, it's very possible that you have first time buyers over that adjusted income.

I recommend you advise your buyers to check with their accountant or to pre-fill out the above form themselves if their income is over $75,000/yr. rather than "guarantee" they will get the full $8000 credit. Better to be safe than sorry.

The IRS is picky about dates - so caution your buyers to pay attention to the dates. They don't want to accidentally close 3 days too soon because they sold their last home 2 years and 362 days ago!

Also, remind them that they have to close on their new home before December 1 - maybe that will help some get off the fence and get moving.

I've heard rumors of a credit in the works for people who aren't first time buyers... will be watching the news for more.

Congrats to you and your clients!

Sheldon:

It's great to see it all work. Every little bit helps.

Richard

Hi Sheldon -- This is REAL DOLLARS here, which is hard to come by these days. That's great!!!

Pretty cool Sheldon! Thanks for the picture too! Unreal!

Is a picture worth $8,000 words? What a great way to get the credit and have it so immediately available to your biyer.

Thank you for the great idea, Sheldon! I have already had people file for the credit, also. I'll have to borrow one of their checks, also! Great post!

Great post Sheldon, I just hope that what I am about to say isn't the norm... I am in an escrow with someone that could really use the credit, they filed an extension for 2008 just because they knew that they would owe and are trying to gather all their eggs along with buying a house (and initially knew nothing about the tax credit). Last week their mortgage broker called to say the bank want's their 2008 taxes filed first, now they are scrambling for a new bank, we will have to wait and see how this play's out. Congrats to you and your buyers though!

MAY

I reblogged it as well. Terrific post Sheldon.

Good work Sheldon. This is the option that everyone always had of either filing taxes with extension or amending the return. It is wonderful Waiting with baited breath for sull details on the announcement (re-announcement actually) of Donovan on the use of this for down payment or closing costs.

Way to go.

Educating your customers is so important. Not too many people KNOW if they have NOT bought a house within the past 3 years, they qualify for the $8,000 credit too. First time buyers are back in the market in my area of Brevard County. First and for most get the word out for this $8,000 credit .. Selling in Merritt Island and Cocoa Beach Florida. Thank you for the picture Shelton.

Hey! The IRS has done something desirable for once!

THANK YOU!

A picture is worth a thousand words, and I'm tired of talking about it! This is real proof!

Sheldon,

Rock on !!! This is awesome. We all talk about the tax credit but there is nothing better than visuals of "hard core disco" from Uncle Sam. Is a great incentive. I still wish this incentive was for ALL buyers but that is another story. It still is all good. This is the BEST time ever for a first time homebuyer to purchase. Great post ! ~ Chris

I can't wait to pass this on to my clients who are on the fence!

You are a hoot, Sheldon! Thanks for the info, and if I have anyone looking in Bergen County, I'll definitely send them your way. My dad lived in Allendale and then Ridgewood for almost 20 years, so I have fond memories of the 4th of July fireworks in Mahwah. Hope things are good up there. The market is still down in Savannah, but signs of life are springing up. This tax credit should help a lot!

Thanks for a great post...gotta love that check! Hopefully this will have an impact and get those first time home-buyers off that fence.

Waaaaaa! Sob! Sob! We don't have anything like that here!!

Why? Coz homes are still selling....though 1st time home buyers get some non-refundable tax credits (in terms of land transfer tax rebate).

You guys are lucky. I envy this tax credit back cheques.

Great post. Thanks for sharing!

Michael - SFBayRealtor@Gmail.com

Nice Post Sheldon. It is great to have the hard evidence to present to a would be buyer.

By the way I am also a "British Agent"

Thanks

Graham

Sheldon,

I just shared this with a young couple I have been working with, thanks for sharing your success!

Durn, I didn't qualify for the stimulus check last year and don't for this one either. I'm envious.

Great visual of the checks and the form.

For those that say 'show me the money' you've done that! I think like you have added, buyers better check with their accountants on all this so they don't commit any fraud! Don't skirt the rules, do it right and get what your entitled too! Great informative post when this whole issue is so confusing!

This opportunity is available not only to first time buyers but persons that have not owned a home in the past three years.

Wish there were a way to let those people become aware - many are still confused about this credit.

Great post!!

Congrats! Great to see the actual check and IRS form. I have first-time home buyers who I just closed with 2 weeks ago, and some more that will be closing in a couple of weeks. I really think this credit will help them out!

Good Stuff we and our buyers need a nice boost in this difficult market.

Thanks for the article

Sheldon: Hey they say a picture is worth a thousand words after all.

$8,000.00 is substantial. I hope they continue and expand the program. It may be the best way to end this mess.

Sheldon, LOVE the photo of the check! It says 1000 words. Plus the rest of the post was informative. How did you get the check photo so perfectly there without any background?

Sharon

I heard the IRS intended to process these refunds quicker than the usual processing time. I guess they really are.

How long before it creates a domino effect?

Hi Sheldon. Super nice job on this post. Like everyone else before me said 'that picture of the check says it all!' There has been so much talk about this program, but to actually see a check makes it real for more people. BTW, my accountant said that the fastest way to get the check is if the buyer had filed an extension. An amemdment is expected to take more time.

JUN

Sheldon, great idea taking a picture of the check. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words...

Sheldon- Awesome! Congrats and thanks for sharing and creating some excitement here on AR and optimism. There are a lot of great real estate news stories and I am glad you continue to share.

Hi Sheldon,

WOW.....great positive news. Things are really changing in the industry and this just proves it. Excellent feature to lift our spirits. Thanks.

That's fantastic. It's nice to read something with a happy ending!

Hi Sheldon! Thanks for sharing. As they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words, or in this case 12,000! I will print this and share it with my 1st-time buyers! Thanks for sharing with us in the Rain.

Kim Thomas

Love it!! This is a great program, especially for first-time homebuyers.

Best, Dan

Thank you Sheldon. I have been trying to tell my first time homebuyer who purchased 2 months ago to amend his tax return. I will see if I can copy his IRS check (like you did). And of course with all the disclaimer. Thanks for sharing this great idea! To some people, seeing is believing.

Laura Rivera

Great program and deal for FTHB. My daughter closed 4/9. Filed her taxes including the refund. Received the check last Tuesday. She put every cent of it into the house for upgrades. She was thrilled.

Glad to see that what we have been preaching is actually working!

Selling Summit County homes in the heart of the Colorado Rockies

It is $8000 for properties purchased in 2009 with escrow closing on or before Dec 1,2009.-With no repayment

It is $7500 for properties purchased from April 2008 to Dec 31 2008.

With $500 pe/r yr repayment for 15 yrs starting on your 2010 Tax return

Just to clarify, the difference between the 2 very different tax credits.

Wow Sheldon. Thanks for the heads up. I have heard that this is the case. This is a great explanation. Thanks for your time.

JUN

I can not even imagine gettinga check that large in the mail. That sure would be awesome. I love how you put this together Sheldon!

It's a beautiful thing! Thanks for sharing. Now come on Florida - let's catch up.

Denise March, Broker/Owner

Hi Sheldon,

Really liked your post. Have not been on Active Rain for awhile due to some unforseen circumstances, but hopefully I am back. I grew up in Bergen County; Leonia actually!

Have a great day!

Cindy

JUN

Cindy ! Nice welcome back, and I love Leonia ! Great town :o)

Denise ! Good luck down there in FLA ! Hope it starts to turn soon :o)

Bill G !! LOL ! I'm with you, but if I was on the fence to buy - I'd be off head first knowing I could pickup a free $8,000 if I did !!!!

Mark V - You're welcome - the actual check is a great confirmation :o)

Deborah D - Yep thanks - the $7500 is a different program, this post was just focussing on the juicy $8K freebie !!

Betsy ! - Definitely !

Joyce ! Excellent ! Good for your daughter :o)

This is the 3rd home sale that I am closing in the last 2 months and my clients are getting back $8000 to use for repairs, upgrades, etc! They are so excited and I am excited for them.

Yeah for us Realtors and happy selling!!

I am in Melbourne, FL.

JUN

Hopefully the government finally has this thing together. Thanks for the example. Gonna reblog this for my folks up in CT.

JUN

Shelton! Fantastic post! Buyers in the market place need to see this in black and white as you have shown in your example. I am going to re-blog for the buyers in St. Joseph as well. Thanks for sharing.

JUN

That is so wonderful to see! It should be our responsibility as Realtors to help make sure that this information is available and easily understood to the general public.

JUN

GOOD NEWS! We need it we like it, our clients are "takin it to the bank". I also have a client that filed an extension and then was thrilled at the response time in recieving his check! GOOD NEWS.
