$8,000 Home Buyer Tax Credit at a Glance

  • The tax credit, effective November 6, 2009, has major benefits for both new and existing home buyers.
  • It extends the $8,000 tax credit until April 30, 2010, for first-time home buyers.
  • Further, a new $6,500 tax credit has been created for repeat buyers who are purchasing a principal residence during the same period.
  • Repeat buyers can claim the $6,500 tax credit if they have been residing in their principal residence for five consecutive years out of the last eight.
  • Both categories of home buyers have until June 30, 2010, to close on the home after signing a contract prior to May 1, 2010.
  • In more good news, the income eligibility limits to claim the full credit amount for both groups of home buyers have been raised to $125,000 for individuals and $225,000 for couples.
  • Single taxpayers earning between $125,000 and $145,000 can claim a partial credit of less than $8,000 for a first-time home buyer and $6,500 for an existing buyer, while the phase-out for married couples ends for those earning above $245,000.
  • Buyers can claim the tax credit on their 2009 or 2010 income tax return. 
  • The tax credit does not have to be repaid. However, home buyers must use the residence for at least three years or face recapture of the credit amount.

Homes over a purchase price of $800,000 do not qualify.
