I am planning to sell a home and I am financing the purchase. The buyer seems to meet the requirement for a first time home buyer tax credit but I can't find out if owner financing will qualify. I would prefer to make the sale with a quit claim deed ?

As long as the deed will be in the buyer's name they will quailify for the credit. The credit is for anyone purchasing a home (for the first time. There isn't a financing requirement. So in theory if someone wanted to buy a home outright with all of their own funds, then they would still qualify for the credit. However, if the person is still unsure, they should check with their tax professional. In fact, I would put a stiuplation in the contract and/or mortgage that you are not guaranteeing that they will qualify for the first time home buyer tax credit. Because if for so reason they don't, you don't want them coming after you for the credit.
