$8,000 tax credit housing forms …

… are now available for first-time home buyers at IRS.gov. Tis’ the tax season! To download form number 5405 click here.

This, of course, is all part of President Barack Obama’s $789 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which is a recently-approved blockbuster stimulus initiative that is expected to boost employment and jumpstart the national economy.

Providing people with financial incentives or “tax breaks” to purchase real estate is a large piece of the plan.

Therefore, the new bill provides a first-time home buyer with an $8,000 maximum tax credit (or 10 percent of the purchase price) on a purchase made before Dec. 1, 2009. It can be claimed on a 2008 (due this April) or 2009 (due next April) federal tax return and does not need to be repaid if the person resides in the property for more than three years.

In addition, first-time homebuyers who bought in 2008 (April 8 through Dec. 31) have been rolled into the equation. However, the maximum credit is $7,500 and must be paid back over a 15-year period.

$15000 tax credit for home buyers cut from Obama stimulus package

money-gold

Last week, elected officials in Washington, D.C., proposed a new $15,000 tax credit to encourage people to start buying homes and, in turn, jump start the national housing market.

It was a nice incentive, which would have provided all homebuyers (not just first timers) with up to $15,000 (or 10 percent of the value of new or existing residences) to put toward their real estate purchases.

Unfortunately, the money-saving measure was today cut from President Barack Obama’s $838 billion economic stimulus package, which had recently received bipartisan support from Senate members. The House of Representatives trimmed the bill to $789 billion and left the $15,000 tax credit on the cutting room floor.

The good news is that there was a compromise — the $7,500 tax credit was bumped up to $8,000. This program provides first-time homebuyers with monetary incentive to purchase foreclosures. In addition, under the terms of the new language in the revised bill, the $8,000 does not need to be repaid (previously it had to be paid back at zero interest within 15 years).

It’s expected that a final vote on the revised $789 billion economic stimulus packaged could come as early as tomorrow (Friday). If it is approved it would then head to the desk of President Obama where it would more than likely be officially signed into law.

Stay tuned.
