The Home Buyers Tax Credit

• The Federal Homebuyer Tax Credit is available to buyers who have not owned a principal residence in the last three years (“New Buyers”) and to buyers who have owned and lived in their principal residence for 5 consecutive years out of the last 8 years (“Repeat Buyers”).
• The maximum credit amount is $8,000 for New Buyers and $6,500 for Repeat Buyers.
• The tax credit is available for homes closed after November 6, 2009, and before May 1, 2010. However, home purchases subject to a binding sales contract signed by April 30, 2010, will qualify for the credit provided the closing occurs prior to July 1, 2010.
• Homes with a purchase price of up to $800,000 qualify. The home must be used as a principal residence.
• Single taxpayers with incomes up to $125,000 and married couples with incomes up to $225,000 qualify for the full tax credit.
• The tax credit does not have to be repaid, unless the owner sells or stops using the home as their principal residence within three years after the purchase.
