On Friday, November 6, 2009, President Obama signed  a bill which will extend the $8000 tax credit for *qualifying first-time home buyers through June 2010.   First time home buyers will receive the $8,000 Federal tax credit if they:

1.  Sign a contract by April 30, 2010
2.  Close on the home by June 30, 2010.

The new bill will also provide a $6,500 credit  for current  homeowners who purchase a new primary residence, and have lived in their current home for at least five of the previous 8 years.

*The bill has a few provisions including:

• Single tax filers who earn up to $125,000 are eligible for the total credit amount. Those who earn more than this cap can receive a partial credit. However, single filers who earn $145,000 and above are ineligible.
• Joint tax filers who earn up to $225,000 are eligible for the total credit amount. Those who earn more than this cap can receive a partial credit. However, joint filers who earn $245,000 and above are ineligible.
