The document summarizes changes to the First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit that were advocated for by the National Association of Realtors. Key changes included removing the repayment requirement, extending the credit until November 2009, and increasing the amount to $8,000. It provides details on eligibility, including income limits and the requirement that the home be the primary residence for 3 years to avoid repayment. The revised credit aims to encourage more first-time homebuyers by making the benefit a true tax credit rather than a loan that needs to be repaid.

Tax Credit Information
1. The 2009 First-Time Homebuyer
Tax Credit
Ken Trepeta
Director, Real Estate Services
National Association of Realtors®
February 19, 2009
2. Overview
• In 2008 Congress created a $7,500 First-Time
Homebuyer Tax Credit.
• It went into effect April 8, 2008 and was set to
expire July 1, 2009.
• The big problem: It had to be repaid over 15
years. People viewed it as a debt and not a
benefit.
3. NAR Proposes Changes
In 2008 NAR began advocating to:
• Remove the repayment feature of the
credit
• Extend the credit to the end of 2009
• Make the credit available to every home
buyer
4. The 2009 Tax Credit
Working with Realtors® across the country:
We succeeded in removing the repayment
requirement for 2009.
The credit has been extended to on or before
November 30, 2009 and can be claimed by those
who closed on homes on or after January 1,
2009. It is still repayable for 2008 purchases.
The credit has been expanded to $8,000.
But, it is still only for first time homebuyers
5. Credit Details
• The new Credit is an $8,000 REFUNDABLE Tax
Credit (or up to 10% of the purchase price).
– So if the property is $75,000, the credit is only
$7,500. (Assume a property over $80,000 for the
rest of the discussion).
• Refundable means that if your total tax
liability in the given year is less than $8,000,
the IRS will send a refund for the balance.
6. Refundability – Why it’s Important
• Many taxpayers do not have tax liability that
exceeds $8,000.
– For example, according to the 2008 IRS Tax Tables:
• A single filer would need $46,600 in taxable income to
have $8,000 in tax liability.
• A couple would need $58,600 in taxable income to have
$8,000 in tax liability.
• Those with less tax liability will in most cases get a
refund meaning they get the full value of the credit.
7. Who cannot take the credit?
If any of the following:
– Your income exceeds the phase-out range. This means
joint filers with Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) of
$170,000 and above and other taxpayers with MAGI of
$95,000 and above.
– You buy your home from a close relative. This includes
your spouse, parent, grandparent, child or grandchild.
– You stop using your home as your main home.
– You sell your home before the end of three years.
– You are a nonresident alien.
8. First-Time Homebuyer Definition
• Defined as someone who owned another main home
at any time during the three years prior to the date
of purchase.
– For example, if you bought a home on January 15, 2009,
you cannot take the credit for that home if you owned, or
had an ownership interest in, another home at any time
from January 15, 2006 through January 15, 2009.
– So if the last time you owned a home was 2005, you are
eligible for the credit even though it is really not your
“first” home.
– For married joint filers, both must meet the 1st time
homebuyer test to take the credit on a joint return.
9. More on Income Limits
TYPE INCOME LIMIT PHASE OUT START
Single Filers $95,000 $75,000
Married Filers $170,000 $150,000
This means that for singles making over $75,000 and couples
making over $150,000, the credit is proportionately reduced
as incomes approach $95,000 and $170,000 respectively.
So if a couple makes $165,000, the excess amount is used to
create a fraction 15,000/20,000 (.75) times the credit
amount. 75% or $6,000 of the credit would be disallowed.
They would still get a $2,000 credit.
10. The Home
• Must be the “main home” i.e. principal residence.
Which is generally considered to be the home where
you spend 50% or more of your time. It can be a
condo, Single Family detached, co-op, townhouse or
something similar.
• The home must be located in the United States.
• Vacation homes and rental properties are not eligible.
• For new construction, the “purchase date” is the date you
occupy the home. So the move in date must be before
December 1, 2009.
11. Recapture-3 Year Residency
• If the home is sold prior to three years of
ownership, the tax credit must be repaid.
– This is an improvement from the prior credit. That
credit needed to be repaid in total over 15 years
or the balance had to be repaid on sale.
• This provision is designed to prevent flipping
homes in order to get the credit.
12. Other Provisions
• The new credit is available to residents of the
District of Columbia
• Purchasers who utilize state/local revenue
bond financing can now use the credit.
• Purchasers who bought before January 1,
2009 are still subject to the terms of the
repayable credit.
13. When Can You Claim the Credit?
• It can be claimed on your 2008 Tax Return (to
be filed by April 15, 2009), an amended 2008
Tax Return, or your 2009 Tax Return.
• NAR and industry partners tried to get the
credit made available at closing but
policymakers balked. In addition, it was
explained that even if a system could be
devised, it would delay closings by several
weeks.
14. Conclusion
• The new credit is greatly improved compared to
the old credit.
• It is a true credit and does not need to be repaid
as long as you occupy the home for 3 years.
• NAR estimates that hundreds of thousands of
potential buyers will take advantage of the credit.
