Thursday, July 8th, 2010 at 8:57pm. 100 Views, 0 Comments.
$8,000 Military first time home buyer credit is alive and well until June 30, 2011. While the general population's $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit has now expired, Congress has extended the benefit for our active duty military members for an additonal year.
How does it work? Pretty simple, buy and close on a home prior to June 30, 2011 and receive an $8,000 credit towards your federal tax. If you normally get a refund, you can expect to receive an additional $8,000 on your check.
