Congress Extends First-Time Homebuyer Credit; QuickBooks 2010 Released
The First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit that was scheduled to expire on November 30th was extended by congress until April 30, 2010. The credit allows first-time homebuyers to claim an $8,000 tax credit when they purchase a home. The new bill also extends the credit to existing homeowners, allowing them to claim a $6,500 tax credit on the purchase of a new home. I included an article in this newsletter with more details on this legislation.
