A lot of homebuyers like to take advantage of tax credits aimed at home purchases when they file their taxes online. However, a majority of homebuyers only believe that tax credits can be used to go toward the purchase of a first home. Fortunately, the government has put into place other tax credit programs that can be used toward the purchase of any home. For a repeat homebuyer, the tax credit that can be used is in the amount of $6,500. This is a tremendous savings for the couple buying a second or third home. Be sure to take advantage of this great credit!
