Take advantage of the homebuyer tax credit – not for just first time buyers

thesignatureteam — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 13:49:37 +0000

Time is running short for people to take advantage of the homebuyer tax credits. There are two different credits – one for first time homebuyers that can be as much as $8000 and the other for other buyers that can be up to $6500. These are TAX CREDITS not just deductions – you can reduce your tax bill by the credit amount.

To take advantage o the credits, you must have your new home under contract by April 30, 2010 and close by June 30, 2010. There are some income limits for each credit (for first time buyers, the income limit for couples is $150,000 and for other buyers the couples limit is $225,000) and home price limits for move up buyers ($800,000) but not for first time buyers.

If you are thinking of buying this spring, start the process now – it can take some time to find the right home, negotiate a price and get your financing lined up. We can help you find just the right home!! We can also help you sell your current home if you might need to sell to buy.

Home buyer credit extended for overseas military personnel

admin — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 06:21:19 +0000

The popular home buyer tax credit that was originally set to expire on November 30, 2009 will continue to be an incentive for prospective home buyers. Under the measure, an $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers would be extended for up to seven months and expanded with a $6,500 tax credit for buyers who already own a home and have lived in their primary residences for at least five consecutive years out of the last eight. These home owners must be buying a new residence, though.

The federal tax credit will be extended through April 30, 2010, with a 60-day extension if a binding contract is in place prior to that deadline. Members of the Armed Forces, military intelligence and Foreign Service who are on extended overseas duty or who have been on active duty for more than 90 days in 2008 and 2009 have another year to use the tax credit (through June, 30, 2011). First-time home buyers will continue to be eligible for a tax credit of up to $8,000, while existing home owners will be eligible for a reduced credit of up to $6,500. To qualify for the $6,500, existing homeowners must have lived in their current residence for at least five years.

The bill also increases the qualifying income limits to $125,000 for single tax filers (up from $75,000 previously) and $225,000 for joint filers (up from $125,000). The purchase price of the home is still capped at $800,000.

Under additional provisions included in the bill, taxpayers can claim the credit on purchases completed in 2010 on their 2009 income tax returns. Home buyers will not have to repay the credit as long as the home remains their primary residence for at least three years. This requirement is waived for active duty military personnel who are forced to move due to a military order.

In summary:
With the first-time home buyer tax credit scheduled to expire, Congress voted to extend it into the spring — and to expand it to many people who already own homes, as well as make special allowances for some military personnel:

·        Buyers who have owned their current homes at least five years would be eligible, subject to income limits, for tax credits of up to $6,500.

·        First-time home buyers — or people who haven’t owned a home in the previous three years — could get up to $8,000. To qualify, buyers have to sign purchase agreements before May 1 and close before July 1.

·        Military who are on extended overseas duty or who have been on active duty for more than 90 days in 2008 and 2009 have until June 30, 2011 to use the credit.
