An $8,000† Tax Credit is available for first time homebuyers. A first time homebuyer† is defined as someone who has not owned a principal residence during the three years prior to the purchase.
• This Tax Credit does not have to be repaid as did the previous Tax Credit if the property is held for a minimum of three years.
• The Tax Credit is available for homes closed on or after January 1, 2009 and on or before November 30, 2009.
• You can take advantage of the Tax Credit relative to your 2008 Tax Year:
- The Tax Credit can be applied against your 2008 Tax Return that is generally filed on or before April 15, 2009.
- If you have already filed your 2008 Tax Return, you can immediately amend your return once you purchase a home and you should receive a refund in 30 to 60 days.
- If your home closing is scheduled to occur after April 15, 2009, you can choose to file an extension to October 15, 2009 to file your 2008 Tax Return to take advantage of the Tax Credit and receive your refund.
- You should consult with a tax professional to determine how best to take advantage of the Tax Credit relative to your personal situation.
• FHA financing ONLY: if you received or are planning to receive a loan from a family member to use towards the down payment of your home the refund you may receive as a result of the Tax Credit can assist you in paying them back in a timelier manner.

First Time Buyers >The Real Bottom Line
An important part of buying a house is sitting down with your real estate agent or a mortgage lender to get a clear idea of how much you can afford. They will add up all of your monthly expenses, the mortgage payment, insurance, real estate taxes, homeowners or condo association fees--and the grand total can throw you into shock!
The important thing to remember is that the grand total isn't really the bottom line. When you add your tax savings to the equation, you may be pleasantly surprised. During the early years of your loan, almost all of the mortgage can be deducted from your state and federal income tax. The same is true of your real estate taxes. If you use part of your house as a home office, you may be able to qualify for additional tax savings. In some areas, homes with ground floor apartments are popular for offsetting part of the mortgage and offering even more tax savings.
When you make calculations about the monthly costs that include the tax savings, you may find that owning your own home is less expensive than renting a house or apartment of comparable size.
