In addition to being limited to first-time home buyers, the tax credit:

• Is equal to 10 percent of the home’s purchase price up to a maximum of $8,000.
• Is available for homes purchased on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009.
• Does not have to be repaid.
• Has income limits of $75,000 for single taxpayers and $150,000 for married couples.
• You have not owned a house in 3 years
