First Time Home Buyer Credit question...

ok so our accountant said we do NOT have to pay it back.
Is this REALLY the case?
I mean..isn't it too good to be true?

Yup you do. $500 every year come off the top of your taxes. Not a bad deal if you ask me.

Nope, Sandy is right. The new one for 2009 is fully refundable and you don't ahve to pay back Chat Icon

I had only heard about the previous one that had to be paid back. Either way, not too shabby but YAY for the new plan Chat Icon

You don't have to pay it back, but you do need to make under 150K to qualify for the full 8K. After that (and up to 170K) the amount phases down. After 170K, you get nada!
