FHA123.com facts about the homebuyer tax credit. **
Are you eligible?
If you have a valid Social Security Number and are a legal resident of the United States, you may qualify. To receive the maximum tax credit of $7,500, you must have an adjusted gross income below $75,000 for individuals (or $150,000 for joint filers).
Are you entitled to the full tax credit?
It will depend on the price of your home and your adjusted gross income. The credit amount will be 10% of the purchase price of your home purchase, not to exceed $7,500.
How does the credit work for me?
The credit acts like a loan from the government and must be repaid over 15 years. The repayment benefits are you don’t have to pay interest and you can make equal installments. You can also pay it off sooner, if you sell your home for a gain before the credit is repaid.
When does the program end?
The first-time homebuyer credit is retroactive for consumers who purchased homes on or after April 9, 2008. This is good news! If you’ve purchased a home already you can still qualify for the tax credit.
