It's in a trailer park and we rent the land. We are looking at buying a house but we cannot determine if we qualify for the $8000 credit. Where do we find the answer definitively?

We did take advantage of the 7500 tax rebate but since we bought it after jan 1 will we be able to do an admendment to our taxes to make it so we dont have to pay back the 7500 since we are falling in to the date brackets?

Can you expand on that for me? I'm on unemployment now, so does that mean I'll for sure get it until that date? Not sure what you meant by that. Thanks Madison!

The $8,000 first time home buyer credit (in free money form) will apply to houses bought in 2009. So unfortunately, unless they make it retroactive to last year, I think your only option will be the loan. @ Stephanie: The way I understand it, as it stands now is that the $7500 first time home buyer credit (in loan form) applies for house purchases in 2008.

We purchased our first house May 19, 2008. Is the $7,500 "loan" replaced by the $8,000 "free money?" Is the new one retroactive to cover the previous group considering the money was going to be paid out this year 2009 through our 2008 IRS taxes? In other words, am I going to get penalized for buying "too early" and still have to pay the money back?

In other words, am I going to get penalized for buying “too early” and still have to pay the money back?

The last version on there still has the 15k home buyer text in it--this is moving too quickly to be able to say anything definitive about it.

I will not have a traditional paycheck this summer. If I had to guess, I would say we will be able to take it as a credit on our 2008 tax returns. Hopefully, I can get something!
