Recovery/Reinvestment Act of 2009 includes new homebuyer tax creditFebruary 24th 2009 |
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides for a $8,000 tax credit that would be available to
first-time home buyers for the purchase of a principal residence on or
after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009. The credit does not
require repayment. Most of the mechanics of the credit will be the
same as under the 2008 rules: the credit will be claimed on a tax
return to reduce the purchaser's income tax liability. If any credit
amount remains unused, then the unused amount will be refunded as a
check to the purchaser.
