Will a Short Sale mean that I have to repay the First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit?

By
Real Estate Agent with Re/Max Alliance

As a real estate attorney and agent, I often get calls from clients with questions that require the skill and expertise of both.  I recently spoke with a client who was asking about whether he would be required to repay the first time homebuyer tax credit (which he received last year when he purchased a home), if he short sold the home for which he received the credit. 

The answer is a little more complicated than can be addressed in detail here, but generally speaking, there is some risk involved.

I would be happy to speak directly to anyone finding themselves in this situation.

Todd, my understanding was that the answer is yes.
