If you decide to purchase a Mat Su Valley AK home by December 1, 2009, you’re going to be entitled to an $8,000 tax credit!
This amendment to the economic stimulus bill will be available if you purchase your first Mat Su Valley AK home between 1/1/2009 and 12/1/2009. Home buyers will be entitled to claim a total tax credit of $8,000 or 10% of the purchase price, whichever is less.
To avoid possible abuse of this credit, the Government is only allowing for your primary residence and will only have to be re-paid if said house is sold within two years of purchase.
Keep in mind that you must close on or before December 1, 2009 to be eligible for the credit. Most closings take about sixty days, so with that in mind you must go under contract by October 2nd, 2009 – this gives you seventy-three days from today to find your first home. If you manage to meet these deadlines, all you have to do to claim your credit is fill out I.R.S. Form 5405.
For more information about this credit go to the IRS website.
