2009 Homebuyer Tax Credit

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty DRE# 01411020

First-time homeowners - read about the new Homebuyer Tax Credit -

The bill provides for a $8,000 tax credit that would be available to first-time home buyers for the purchase of a principal residence on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009.

The credit does not require repayment. Most of the mechanics of the credit will be the same as under the 2008 rules: the credit will be claimed on a tax return to reduce the purchaser's income tax liability.

If any credit amount remains unused, then the unused amount will be refunded as a check to the purchaser. Read more about this at www.WoodbridgeCondo.com
