First-time homebuyer $8,000 tax credit Tampa Bay Florida
$8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers will end soon.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 expanded the first-time homebuyer credit by increasing the credit amount to $8,000 for purchases made in 2009 before December 1, 2009 which means that first-time home buyers have until November 30, 2009 to take advantage of this opportunity.
Who is considered to be a first-time homebuyer?
According to the IRS taxpayers who have not owned another principal residence at any time during the three years prior to the date of purchase are considered first-time home buyers for tax purposes.
