$15,000 tax credit won't help low-income home buyers, experts say


The Senate measure offers the credit to anyone buying a primary residence. But buyers must earn enough to have $7,500 in income taxes -- $81,900 per year for a family of four -- to get the full benefit.

...

The Senate measure expands an incentive approved last year -- a $7,500 credit for first-time home buyers that had to be repaid later. The House's version of the economic stimulus package renewed last year's provision and eliminated the payback requirement.

But the Senate bill goes further, making the credit available to anyone buying their primary residence, and doubling the eligible amount to $15,000.

Once the Senate passes its version of the stimulus package, a conference committee will resolve differences between it and the House bill. Then both houses will be asked to vote on the compromise.
Yeah, just wait until it passes because they will change it many times before it's final.

If you don't have your PIN you can use your Adjusted Gross Income^^^^^^^^^^^^

Just filed mine with turbotax today, super easy will definitely do it online again. Got my emails that both the state and fed received my filings. Getting back just under 4k from the federalies and just over 1k from the state. Fuck Arnold Swarshenheimer.
