My parents put me on their deed last summer. The mortgage is in their name. We have lived together for 12 years. My husband and I are thinking of buying a home as our primary residence in another state. Would we qualify for the $8000 tax credit? Or would just my husband qualify if we only purchased the home in his name?

Welcome to the forum
These are the guidlines for $8000 tax credit
- The tax credit is for first-time home buyers only. For the tax credit program, the IRS defines a first-time home buyer as someone who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase.
-The tax credit does not have to be repaid, if you stay in the house for atleast 3 years.
-The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the homes purchase price up to a maximum of $8,000.
-The credit is available for homes purchased on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009.
-Single taxpayers with incomes up to $75,000 and married couples with incomes up to $150,000 qualify for the full tax credit.
- For married taxpayers, the law tests the homeownership history of both the home buyer and his/her spouse
Sorry to give this news, but looks like you do nto qulify for tax credit
Good luck and feel free to ask

After reading the post above i dont think you will qualify for the tax credit.
Thanks everyone for your responses. I guess we shouldn't have put my name on the deed last year. Oh well, live and learn!!
