My name is on the deed but not on the mortgage. My brother name is on the mortgage. Can he sell the house to me and will i qualify for $8000 tax credit?
Hayley,
I do nto think that is possibel
Check these guidlines
These are the guidign rules 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 home's 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
- Cannot purchase a home from your ancestors (parents, grandparents, etc.), your lineal descendants (children, grandchildren, etc.) or your spouse
Good luck and feel free to ask
