Profile picture for richardhelle
My daughter has worked in New Zealand for 5 years.  She is returning to the US in December or January and buying a home.  Can she qualify for the Tax Credit?

As long as she meets the program guidelines and can qualify for a loan she is eligible for the program. Even if you have owned a home overseas, you are considered a 'first time home buyer' if you buy a home in  the U.S. and plan on using the U.S. home as your primary residence.

See the link for more information.

Yeah sure if she plans to file US taxes for 2009 and live in the house herself for 3 years.
