The government’s $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit has been a source of some confusion by those who might be eligible, but aren’t quite sure if they fully meet the criteria.
Now you can take a simple, 5-question quiz to find out if you qualify:
Do You Qualify for the $8,000 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit?
The great thing about this new quiz is that it was developed as a widget that you can put on your own blog or Web site. Just copy and paste the code, and anyone who visits your site can then take the quiz and get instant results.
When you’re done taking the quiz, make sure to check out all of the other real estate and mortgage widgets Zillow offers. Here are some of the latest widgets that are among my favorites:

Angela,
The IRS has a page with Q&A and links to forms and related info here: http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=206293,00.html. This blog post also does a good job of outlining eligibility for the tax credit: http://www.zillow.com/blog/rules-and-forms-in-place-for-8000-first-time-homebuyer-tax-credit/2009/03/02/

I was wondering if someopne could provide me with info o mortgage loans available for first time homebuyers. How much(minimum) down payment is required to qualify for a mortgage loan?
Someone told me that i’s difficult to get home loans these days? Is it correct? If economy is bad and most people have bad credit, how can one take advantage of $8000 tax credit? FYI, I never ever had a late payment and been building credit history since 2001.
