The Expanded Home Buyer Tax Credit - In Detail

[Jennifer Griner]

As 2010 begins, both real estate professionals and home buyers can look forward to taking advantage of the Extended and Expanded Home Buyer Tax Credit.

Originally created in 2008, the home-buyer tax credit has evolved from a $7,500 credit, which had to be repaid by the home buyer over the course of 15 years, to an $8,000 tax credit with no repayment required in 2009. Now, for a limited time in 2010, the $8,000 home buyer tax credit will still be available to first-time home buyers and certain current homeowners will also be eligible for a $6,500 credit.

To help everyone better understand the extended and expanded home buyer tax credit, here are some highlights of the changes.
