First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit Extended and Expanded

Thursday November 12, 2009

You may have heard about the tax credit this year for first-time homebuyers, but that was slated to expire in less than a month. Well, here's some good news. Legislation was passed that extends the tax credit until next year. To make things even better, the tax credit has been expanded to include more homebuyers, not just first-time buyers. Now you may be able to qualify for a tax credit for buying a new home even if it isn't your first home. This can help a lot of people out and will hopefully stimulate the economy to help keep this recovery on track. Learn more about the details of this tax credit and see if you qualify.
