Best Answer

You are supposed to pay the credit back on the income tax return in the year that the home ceases to be your principal residence within the 36 months period from the date of the purchase of the home.

The full amount of the credit received becomes due on the return for the year that the home ceased being your principal residence.

When you bought your house in 2009 you were able to get the 8000 stimulas package on your tax return Can you sell your house in 2011?

If you live in your home for less than three years, you may be required to pay back all or a portion of the first-time home buyer tax credit that you received. Repayment of the credit will be required if you sell the home, or if you convert it to a rental property or business-use property. You must repay the entire credit on the tax return for the year that it ceased being your main home.

How does the 15000 home buyer credit work?

The Actual credit is $8000 (the $15,000 version was never passed).Here are some of the key IRS Rulings and other answers applicable to the the 200+ questions I received on this credit:- The Credit can be claimed in this year's tax return by filing an amendment using Form 5405. Qualifying taxpayers who buy a home this year before Dec. 1 can get up to $8,000, or $4,000 for married filing separately.- The new $8000 credit can be used towards the down payment of a house bought in the credit qualifying period. You need to work with your lender to take advantage of this provision.- Unfortunately you still have to pay back the existing $7,500 credit (for homes bought between April 8, 2008, and before December 31, 2008). Unlike the $8,000 credit passed recently, the existing credit was not made retroactive. You generally must repay the credit over a 15-year period in 15 equal installments, starting in 2010- To be eligible for the home buyer credit, your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) must be less than $95,000 or $170,000 (if married filing jointly) for the relevant tax year. The phase-out of the credit begins when your MAGI exceeds $75,000 or $150,000 (married filing jointly), meaning the amount of credit received decreases after these limits.- You cannot claim the credit if acquired your home by gift or inheritance OR if you acquired your home from a related person- If you and your spouse claim the credit on a joint return, each spouse is treated as having been allowed half of the credit for purposes of repaying the credit. So the total amount claimable is still $8000.- [Recent Update] If you are married joint filers, both partners must meet the first-time home buyer criteria. This is to prevent double dipping, but is biased against married couples since single filers also get the $8000 credit. So if you are planning to get married this year to someone who has owned a home - you may want to buy a home first and get married in 2010.- If two or more unmarried individuals buy a main home, they can allocate the credit among the individual owners using any reasonable method. The total amount allocated cannot exceed the smaller of $7,500 ($8,000 if you purchased your home in 2009) or 10% of the purchase price. Note: A reasonable method is any method that does not allocate all or a part of the credit to a co-owner who is not eligible to claim that part of the credit (I would go with 50/50 as a reasonable method if one person is not eligible for the credit)- The purchase date is how you decide which credit you are eligible for. Only homes purchase from Jan 1 2009 to Dec 1 2009 are eligible for the fully refundable $8000 credit. If you constructed your main home, you are treated as having purchased it on the date you first occupied it.

Are there any tax benefits for building a new house?

If you are a first time homeowner, you would qualify for the $8000 tax credit if you obtain your UNO permit before 12/31/2009. The other benefit is that you pay interest only on the money you use during construction. You can itemize that on your taxes along with the interest you are paying on your current home or mortgage. First homes between January 1 and November 30, 2009. Buyers get a slightly higher credit -- $8,000 rather than $7,500 -- and they never have to pay it back.There is an exception to the no-pay-back rule: You do have to repay the $8,000 if you sell the house within three years of the time you buy it.


Can you use the 8000 first time homebuyer tax credit for your 2008 taxes?

If you were a first-time homebuyer in 2008, you should know about and begin to plan for a new tax credit that was recently put into place. Some details of the credit include: * The tax credit is applicable to taxpayers who purchased homes after April 8, 2008, and before July 1, 2009. * The First Time Homebuyer tax credit will reduce the taxpayer's tax bill or will increase their refund, dollar for dollar. * The homebuyer tax credit will be paid to eligible taxpayers even if they don't owe any tax or the credit is more than what they owe. * This tax credit works almost like an interest-free loan in that it has to be paid back over a 15-year period.
