Yes you can claim the credit on your 2008 tax return- the credit must be taken in the year of your purchase. The First-Time Homebuyer Credit can be claimed on Form 5405- you will need the purchase date and also the price paid.

"The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 authorizes a $7,500 tax credit for qualified first-time home buyers purchasing homes on or after April 9, 2008 and before July 1, 2009."

Talk to your tax professional to see how it impacts your particular situation. Also, note this is a credit the first year, but you'll need to pay back on the credit over time
