If you bought a house this year, the Federal government is giving you an $8,000 tax credit as a First Time Home Buyer. Your income and the fact that the house must be your primary residence is key to qualifying for this $8,000 tax credit. You must have purchased the house or condo between Jan. 1, 2009 and Nov. 30, 2009 in order to qualify. And for those who bought a house in 2008 there is a home buyer credit of $7,500. Always check with your tax consultant for the details. For more details on this be sure to read Scoop on First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit.
And BINGO, if you bought a new house from a builder whether or not you were a 1st time home buyer or not, you get a State tax credit of $10,000.
