Do I qualify for 1st time Home Buyers tax credit?

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 16:00:00 GMT

I currently am on the deed for my primary residence, HOWEVER I have never had a mortgage related to this. My parents purchased the condo and put my name (along with my father's name) on the deed. Does this disqualify me from the tax credit?
From the FAQ on the tax credit:
"For example, if you have not owned a home in the past three years but your spouse has owned a principal residence, neither you nor your spouse qualifies for the first-time home buyer tax credit. However, unmarried joint purchasers may allocate the credit amount to any buyer who qualifies as a first-time buyer, such as may occur if a parent jointly purchases a home with a son or daughter. Ownership of a vacation home or rental property not used as a principal residence does not disqualify a buyer as a first-time home buyer."
Thanks in advance!
