The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
authorizes a tax credit of up to $8,000 for
qualified first-time home buyers purchasing a principal residence in 2009. 8,000 First-time Home Buyer Tax Credit at a Glance

The $8,000 tax credit is for first-time home buyers only.
For the tax credit program,
the IRS defines a first-time home buyer as someone who has
not owned a principal residence during the three-year
period prior to the purchase.

The tax credit does not have to be repaid.

The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the home’s
purchase price up to a maximum of $8,000.

The tax credit applies only to homes priced at $800,000 or less.

The tax credit now applies to sales occurring on or after
January 1, 2009 and on or before April 30, 2010.
However, in cases where a binding sales contract is
signed by April 30, 2010, a home purchase completed by
June 30, 2010 will qualify.

For homes purchased on or after January 1, 2009
and on or before November 6, 2009,
the income limits are $75,000 for single taxpayers and
$150,000 for married couples filing jointly.

For homes purchased after November 6, 2009 and on or before
April 30, 2010,
single taxpayers with incomes up to $125,000
and married couples with incomes
up to $225,000 qualify for the full tax credit The $6,500 Move-Up / Repeat Home Buyer Tax Credit at a Glance

To be eligible to claim the tax credit, buyers must have owned and
lived in their previous home
for five consecutive years out of the last eight years.

The tax credit does not have to be repaid.

The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the
home’s purchase price up to a maximum of $6,500.

The tax credit applies only to homes priced at $800,000 or less.

The credit is available for homes purchased after November 6, 2009 and
on or before April 30, 2010.
However, in cases where a binding sales contract is
signed by April 30, 2010, the home purchase qualifies
provided it is completed by June 30, 2010.

Single taxpayers with incomes up to $125,000 and
married couples with incomes up to $225,000 qualify for the full tax credit. For more information, refer to the following links: First Time Home Buyers Fact Sheet
