First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit

On the subject of home ownership, there have been recent adjustments to the First-Time Homebuyers Tax Credit. This has left many people wondering who is eligible for the credit. Some key points of eligibility are: this does not have to be your first home purchase, the deadline for entering into a contract is now April 30, 2010 with a closing date of June 30, 2010, and the credit is fully refundable (you get money back if you don't owe that much in taxes). For more information, you can follow the link below to view the IRS specifications.

Getting Ready For The Holidays

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, many of us are dreaming of a new kitchen to cook our holiday feasts in. If you are lucky enough to upgrade your kitchen with new energy-efficient appliances, make sure you save your receipts. This year, the IRS has increased the energy credit to 30% of cost, with a $1,500 credit limit. This limit also includes improving the efficiency of your home by replacing old windows, insulation, heating systems, etc. This is just one way to "go green" and save green this holiday season.
