An eligible New Jersey homebuyer may request from the IRS a tax credit of up to $8,000 or 10% of the purchase price for a home for First Time Home Buyers or up to $6500 for repeat buyers. The deadline is fast approaching! The expanded tax credit for U.S. homebuyers, expires on July 1, 2010. As a buyer, you must be under contract by April 30 to make the deadline. This doesn’t leave much time to start the buying process.
Who is eligible for the FTHB tax credit?
Anyone who has not owned a primary residence in the previous 36 months, prior to closing and the transfer of title, is eligible. This applies both to single taxpayers and married couples.
In the case where there is a married couple, if either spouse has owned a primary residence in the last 36 months, neither would qualify. In the case where an individual has owned property that has not been a primary residence, such as a second home or investment property, that individual would be eligible.
There are several other nuances for specific situations such as military but the bottom line is …..Time is Running Out!
