Кто нибудь в курсе за 2012 год можно квалифицироваться под federal tax credit as a first time home buyer?

Это тот что в 2009-м году что ли был? Когда 8 тыс назад возращали? Я покупала дом в 2010 и уже не попала под этот возрат налогов.

Да в этом роде такс кредит. Вот я нашла инфу для тех кому любопытно и кто купил дом в 2012 . Где то вычитала что на подобный кредит подается Вашим лэндером и до closing оформляется, хотя нужно помозговать и спроцессировать эту всю инфу.

The First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit 2012
The news of the first time home buyer tax credit 2012 will accelerate the construction industry and will create a lot of new jobs. This is a temporary bonus for the first time home buyers which is worth up to $10,000, and will be effective until March 31, 2013. It is very difficult for the buyers to get into the market and generally to get help from the banks. So this will help the new buyers to get a home ownership and will help the construction industry for each home start, there will be about three full-time jobs every year.

The participation of tax credit is governed by eligibility guidelines. A good number of people are allowed to participate. Applicants will have to be a first-time home buyer and they are required to meet certain income criteria. The one time refundable personal tax credit is equal to 5% of the purchase price of the home to a maximum of $10,000. On basis of the net income of a buyer or couple the bonus will be reduced. For every dollar in net income over $150,000, the bonus is reduced by 20 cents for single people (it is zero at $200,000 net income). The bonus is reduced by 10 cents for every dollar in family net income over $150,000 for couples (it is zero at $250,000 net family income).
The bonus is based on homes where the HST is now payable which includes detached houses, duplexes, townhouses, condos, mobile homes, floating homes and cooperative housing units. This will help people to get into the market and to get new homes. The biggest hurdle of getting a new home is the down payment. The bonus of $10,000 is a great contribution toward the first-time new home buyers. The home buyer bonus is a good news for the home construction industry raising the HST-rebate threshold to $850,000. Housing is very expensive particularly in the lower Mainland and both measures together make it easier to consider a new home for people. The maximum $10,000 bonus for the first-time new home buyers will accelerate potential buyers to look for homes moving off the sidelines in lower Mainland in particular. The measures help lessen the cost of new homes at both ends. Approximately 13% of new homes are priced under $525,000 and 50% are priced between the $525,000 and $850,000 range.
There is no significant tax relief for the home renovation industry. More than $7.6 billion will be spent in home renovation, improvement and repair this year. People are delaying their decision to renovate their homes by waiting for the HST to disappear [on April 1, 2013]. The home renovation tax credit up to $1,000 will not have a great impact on the renovators.
The housing crisis and recession plagued the American economy in the last few years. The first-time home buyer tax credit 2012 is implemented as an incentive to purchase homes. A great deal of Americans will be benefited from the first-time home buyer tax credit 2012 and will take advantage of the $10,000 refund.

А вот если Вы купили дом в 2010 может эта информация будет Вам полезна? Если что можно позвонить В IRS и узнать про tax credit за 2010? Смотря в каком месяце 2010 ого купили дом.

The IRS has release the following 7 reminders for tax payers claiming the home buyer credit in 2011:

You must have bought – or entered into a binding contract to buy – a principal residence located in the United States on or before April 30, 2010. If you entered into a binding contract by April 30, 2010, you must have closed on the home on or before September 30, 2010.
To be considered a first-time homebuyer, you and your spouse – if you are married – must not have jointly or separately owned another principal residence during the three years prior to the date of purchase.
To be considered a long-time resident homebuyer you and your spouse – if you are married – must have lived in the same principal residence for any consecutive five-year period during the eight-year period that ended on the date the new home is purchased.
The maximum credit for a first-time homebuyer is $8,000, half that amount for married individuals filing separately. The maximum credit for a long-time resident homebuyer is $6,500. Married individuals filing separately are limited to $3,250.
You must file a paper return and attach Form 5405, First-Time Homebuyer Credit and Repayment of the Credit with additional documents to verify the purchase. Therefore, if you claim the credit you will not be able to file electronically.
New homebuyers must attach a copy of a properly executed settlement statement used to complete such purchase. Buyers of a newly constructed home, where a settlement statement is not available, must attach a copy of the dated certificate of occupancy. Mobile home purchasers who are unable to get a settlement statement must attach a copy of the retail sales contract.
If you are a long-time resident claiming the credit, the IRS recommends that you also attach any documentation covering the five-consecutive-year period, including Form 1098, Mortgage Interest Statement or substitute mortgage interest statements, property tax records or homeowner’s insurance records.

Дав, запостите пожалуйста источник

да-да, помню такой закон, но я под него не попала, так как вступила в binding contract в августе 2010 и closing был в сентябре 2010. А вот друзья мои успели до 30 апреля и получили 8 тыс от государства.
