is there a penalty if i refinance my home into a lower interest rate if i received a tax credit and if so, for how long must i wait to refinance?
Hi Buehlb,

You won't be able to refinance your mortgage immediately after you take it out. You'll have to wait for around 8-10 months in order to get a mortgage refinance.

Hi Adonis,

I just want to make sure I understand you! You are telling me that if I've been in my present loan since 08/09 I can refinance into a lower interest rate without incurring any penalty because I received the Tax Credit when I purchased my home a year ago? I'm not going to get fined or penalized if I do refinance after receiving the tax credit.

I've been in the loan since 08/09 and my rate is 5.75%. I've been offered a 4.25% 30 year fixed, which will lower my payment by $158.00 a month, so I want to make sure I'm not going to incur a penalty if I received the Tax Credit when I purchased my home over a year ago.

In my opinion, it will be a better option to contact a tax adviser and take his suggestions in this matter.
