Do I qualify for the first time home buyer tax credit?
Nikhilkavimandan
Sorry for the one-liner question, did not know how to add all the details in the question itself. Here they are: We purchased out first home on October 15th; we file under married filing jointly status, and our combined income is above the 150,000$ limit (that was in effect before Nov 6 2009) but below the 225,000$ limit (for home purchased after Nov 6 2009). Do you know if there is any way I can claim any tax credit for our home purchase? Not knowing that congress was going to increase the income limit for the second tax credit extension, I decided to go ahead with house closing on Oct 15th w/o waiting for the new extension to start, now it just seems a bit unfair that I cannot get any tax credit just because I purchased the house 3 weeks before Nov 6th!

I am planning to sell a home and I am financing the purchase. The buyer seems to meet the requirement for a first time home buyer tax credit but I can't find out if owner financing will qualify. I would prefer to make the sale with a quit claim deed ?
As long as the deed will be in the buyer's name they will quailify for the credit. The credit is for anyone purchasing a home (for the first time. There isn't a financing requirement. So in theory if someone wanted to buy a home outright with all of their own funds, then they would still qualify for the credit. However, if the person is still unsure, they should check with their tax professional. In fact, I would put a stiuplation in the contract and/or mortgage that you are not guaranteeing that they will qualify for the first time home buyer tax credit. Because if for so reason they don't, you don't want them coming after you for the credit.
