Home buyer tax credit extended and expanded!

The President signed the new bill (HR3548) into law today.

 

If an individual is under contract but will not close until July 1, 2010, they would be eligible for the tax credit (assuming they meet all other qualifications).They must have entered into the contract by May 1, 2010 and close before 7/1/2010.

 

For repeat buyers, there is a special rule for long time residents of the same principal residence. If an individual or their spouse has owned or used the same residence as such individual principal residence for any 5 consecutive year period during the 8 year period ending on the date of the purchase of a subsequent residence then such individual shall be treated as a first time homebuyer for purposes of this section with respect to the purchase of such subsequent residence. The timing outlined above would apply in terms of contract timing and closing.

 

Here is one example for repeat buyers.

 

12/31/2009 – Customer purchases a new principal residence.

12/31/2001-12/31/2009 – Customer owned a primary residence from 11/6/2003-11/6/2008

Customer can be treated as a first time homebuyer for the 12/31/2009 purchase and would be eligible for tax credit (assuming they meet all other qualifications) of $6500 (joint) or $3250 (individual). No credit allowed for purchase price over $800,000. There are also income limitations.

 

Here is link to the bill http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c111:5:./temp/~c111bh5WJ8 if you are interested.
