INFO from NAHB - Keeping you informed -
First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit Improvements

The newly expanded first-time home buyer tax credit, passed as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), offers builders an additional sales incentive for most of 2009.  While the expansion of the program was not as broad as we would like, ARRA makes significant improvements that should encourage many prospective home buyer to buy a home in 2009. These improvements include:

·         Increasing the maximum tax credit amount to $8,000

·         Eliminating the repayment requirement for 2009 buyers, provided the buyer remains in the home for at least three years

·         Extending the sunset date of the program to December 1, 2009

·         Extending the option to claim 2009 home purchases on taxpayers' 2008 income tax returns

·         Eliminating the prohibition against buyers financing their home with the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds and claiming the tax credit

o   NOTE: This facilitates state and local housing finance agencies (HFAs) use of bonds to advance the tax credit as a short-term loan that can be used at the closing table
