Macy08, looks like you got several good answers already. I would just add that you should consult a tax accountant to see exactly what you need to fill out with the IRS to get your credit.

Hello macy08 your first responder (Mike Emery) provided you with good information, but I would like to add there are income limits (part of the qualify) (125,000 single/ 225,000 couple). If you are low income (usually 30,000 or 54,000 couple) with a dependent(s) you may also find value in checking with your city to see if there are any "special first time home owner programs" that you can apply to on top of this . For example, I have a listing that would be eligible for a 2% loan for a portion of the loan which will be helpful for my buyer should they qualify.

As long as you qualify for the 8k tax credit you could receive the tax credit by buying this or any house. You must be under contract by April 30th 2010 and have closed by June 30th 2010. The tax credit is 10 percent of the purchase price for a maximum of 8k
Woud the $8000 tax credit still be used for a first time home buyer?
