I plan to purchase a mixed use property. It has a small store with two apartments upstairs. I plan to occupy one of them. Do I still qualify for the $8000 tax credit? I have never owned a home.

Hello,

I have a question about the 8000 dollar tax credit. My wife purchased the house we are living in on March 2007. We are looking to buy a new home here in the next few months but I am not sure if we qualify for the 8000 tax credit. The house is NOT under my name but I read somewhere that if your spouse has a home under their name, then you are not qualified to get the credit. Any help in clarifying this would be appreciated.

Just putting in the claim for this tax credit in my return and found that it has to be manually claimed. Painful, but for 8K it is worth it.

John:
It sounds like you would qualify for the $6500 move-up buyer program. Check with your accountant for details. There is more information and a link to the Federal Housing Tax Credit site on this post – http://www.atlantarealestateforum.com/new-6500-home-buyer-tax-credit-benefits-move-up-buyers-17954/

We relocated to CA in Dec 2008 and rented a house due to falling real estate prices.
We subsequently sold our old house in May 2009. As the market in CA is starting to stabilize we are thinking about buying a house. Would either the $ 8000 first time buyer or $6500 move up buyer programs possibly apply in our situation? Thanks.

Hi my ex-boyfriend bought a home with cash 6 years ago, put my name on the deed as Tenants in Common with rights of Survivorship-Unmarried. Then left me, 5 years later, bullied me with layers until I signed my name off the deed. This year 6/2009 I purchased a home with 100% finance.

Is there any way I can get the first time homeowner credit?
