Military Home Buyers : Down To 3 Weeks to Take Advantage of Up To $8,000 in Tax Credits
April 8th, 2011 categories: Buyer Strategies, Mortgage & Finance
Just a reminder for qualified military or federal employees who are eligible. We are down to 3 weeks from Saturday as the deadline for taking advantage of the federal home buyer tax credit.
It allows you to claim up to $8,000 in federal income tax credits.
We described some of the key details in a previous post, but here is a reminder that time is running out.
Eligible persons include members and spouses of the uniformed services, members and spouses of the Foreign Service, and don’t forget intelligence community employees who served at least 90 days of qualified, extended duty service outside of the United States between January 1, 2009 and April 30, 2010, and their spouses.
As an eligible person, you must be under contract for a new home on or before April 30, 2011, with the home’s closing occurring on or before June 30, 2011.
If you are a repeat buyer you must have lived in your “main home” through 5 of the last 8 years in order to be considered eligible.
Here are some of the other key eligibility criteria that the property and the buyer must conform to:
- Can’t purchase home from a parent, spouse, or child
- Can’t purchase home from an entity in which the seller is a majority owner
- Can’t acquire home by gift or inheritance
- Sale price can’t exceed $800,000
- Buyers can’t earn more than $125,000 as single-filers; $225,000 as joint-filers
You’ll find the complete program description on the IRS website.
If you are relocating to Northern Virginia, or are in the area and want to see if you can still find a property within the deadline time, let me know and I will be glad to assist with more information. We are always here for you!
