Yes, according to posts at this website: http://www.cincinnatilivingonline.com/2009/02/2009-first-time-homebuyer-tax-credit-2.html
I would love to know the answer to this question! I find conflicting data everywhere.
I would talk to a realtor about this.
To qualify for the credit you have to purchase your home between January 1, 2009 and April 30th, 2010. You can still qualify for the credit if you purchase your home after April 30th but before June 30th, 2010 as long as you have a legal contract binding you to the sale before April 30th, 2010.
Yes. There is a first-time home buyer credit of up to $8000 until 4/30/2010.
Yes. Whether you have a mortgage or not or where you got it is not relevant.
Do things that will improve your credit score. Pay off your credit cards as much as you can, contributing most to the one with the highest interest rate. If you have declared bankruptcy in the past, you should wait until after 10 years before the bankruptcy is no longer listed on your credit report. Look into whether you qualify for the $8000 federal first-time home buyer tax credit.
There is currently an $8000 tax credit to those who purchased a new house in 2009. However, this tax credit only applies to new home buyers, previous home buyers will not qualify for this credit.
Its an 8000 dollar tax credit. that's the max you can get. its 10 percent of what you paid. So if your house was 50,000 you get 5,000 in tax credit. So take the amount you paid x .1
Yes it does, the tax credit counts towards the purchase of any home as long as you are a first time home buyer. follow this link for more info www.home-for-sale-fl.com/About_The_Price.html
