What if my sale is closing late? Can I still receive a tax credit?

By
Real Estate Agent with Windermere Real Estate/M2, LLC

Question:
First time tax credit buyer entered a purchase agreement several weeks ago, intending to close by November 30 to take advantage of the first tax credit program. Closing will not happen by November 30, but should happen in December. Do buyer and seller need to rewrite their purchase agreement to reflect a different date or do anything else to allow buyer to take advantage of the extended tax credit program?

...The preceding is an opinion from Annie Fitzsimmons, the attorney who answers questions for the Washington Association of REALTORS® Legal Hotline. For additional questions or information, please contact Jen at (206) 293-1005 or send me an email to jen@jenhudsonhomes.com.

I believe it is an extension of the existing credit and nothing needs to be done; but consult a tax professional to be sure as I am not one.
