Learn More about the Tax Credit
þ You can now use the Tax Credit as part of your purchase money for your home. On FHA loans, you still need to provide your 3½% down payment. You can use the $8,000 as additional down payment (to pay down the interest rate) or to cover closing costs or repairs.
þ Available to First-Time Homebuyers who haven’t owned in the last 3 years.
þ Credit amount up to 10% of the home’s value, not to exceed $8,000.
þ Eligible for homes purchased on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009.
þ Available on single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominiums – newly constructed or pre-existing homes.
þ Buyers qualified for full tax credit are single taxpayers with incomes up to $75,000 and married couples with incomes up to $150,000.
þ The tax credit does not need to be repaid as long as the buyer does not sell the home within the first three years and it remains their primary residence.
