Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Homebuyer Tax Credit Question:     Existing homeowner credit: Must the new house cost more than the old house? Answer:         No. Thus, for example, individuals who move from a high cost area to a lower cost area who meet all eligibility requirements will qualify for the $6,500 credit. Question:     I am a first-time homebuyer but was not within the prior income limits at the time I entered into my contract to purchase on October 30, 2009. I will be covered, however, by the new income limits. If the new rules have been signed into law by the time I go to settlement, will I be eligible for a credit? Answer:         Yes. The new income limitations go into effect as soon as the President has signed the bill. Question:     I am an eligible existing homeowner. I have a fair amount of equity in my house. I have found a home with a non-negotiable price of $825,000. Will I be able to use any of the $6,500 tax credit? Answer:         No. The $800,000 cap on the cost of the purchased home is firm at $800,000. Any amount above $800,000 make the home ineligible for any portion of the credit. The $800,000 is an absolute ceiling. Question:     I owned my home for 10 years, but sold it two years ago and have been renting since. If I purchase a home, will I be eligible for the $6,500 tax credit if I meet all the other eligibility tests? Answer:         Yes. Because you lived in the home for more than 5 consecutive years of the previous 8, you will qualify for the $6,500 credit.  Question:     I am eligible first-time homebuyer. I entered into a contract to purchase on November 1, 2009. Do I have to go to closing before December 1? How does the extension date affect me? Answer:         You do not have to close before December 1. Once the legislation has been signed, it will be as if the Nov 30 date had never existed. Therefore, so long as the contract settles before April 30 (or July 1, worst case), the purchaser will be eligible for the credit.
