Travis' Video, The $8000 Tax Credit for "New" Home Buyers
Hello Friends,
I know there are about 1000 posts on this now but I thought for us visual "learners" I would post a video recapping the major points.
#1 A true $8000 credit, no required to be repaid unless the home is sold in the first 3 years.
#2 The provision considers “new home buyers”, not necessarily first time home buyers.
#3 You can receive the credit this year by waiting to file or extending your filing until October to receive the $8000 immediately after closing on your home.
#4 If you have already filed your taxes, a strategy to raise your W-4 withholdings in order to get most of the $8000 throughout the year in your pay check rather than wait until next filing.
#5 The 10% rule where you would get less than $8000 only applies if you are purchasing a home under $80,000
#6 When the "phase-out occurs" when you make TOO much money.
Those are the main highlights covered in the video. I would encourage you to email or call for more clarity.
Be Blessed!
