First Time Homebuyers BEWARE!

Scam artists come of of the workwork when they see an opportunity! Here is another example!

The $8000 credit given to first time homebuyers is given ONLY from the government - not from any other company or entity! According to the BBB, there are web sites offering double and triple your credit if you go thru them! SCAM SCAM. If it sounds too good to be true, it is!

When you file your taxes, after closing on the house, you are able to claim this $8000 CREDIT. If you were going to get money back, add $8000 to this amount. If you owe taxes, deduct this from the $8000.

Any first time homebuyer that has not owned a home in the last 3 years is eligible. It is 10% of the purchase price OR $8000, not both.

If you have further questions how this tax credit will be applied, contact a local tax preparer.
