JuegosThe federal government has recently begun a history making incentive to help first time home-buyers make real estate purchases. If you qualify for the new tax credit, you can get $8000 toward the purchase of your home.
First, in order to qualify for the tax credit, you have to purchase and make closing on your home by December 1,2009. If you have built a new house, you must be living in it by December 1, 2009. Your home buying experience, must have taken place between February 1, 2009 (when the credit was first enacted) and December 1, 2009 (the scheduled end date for the credit) to qualify. It is likely Congress will extend the end date, but you should not rely on that at present.

If any improvements or changes in home structure as the home renovations or home remodeling is done on medical grounds and is related to some health related issues, the expenditure is deductible in such cases. This can be restructuring made for the convenience of a disabled or ill person residing in the home. Some common examples are air condition units or handicap ramps and so on.
If you sell your home within three years of purchasing it under the tax credit, you will have to pay back whatever you received from the federal government. This is a restriction applied to help keep real estate flippers from benefiting from the tax credit.
There was a similar credit in 2008, but it required that you pay the money back to the federal government over fifteen years. The current tax credit requires no return of the money.
