 Opportunity of a lifetime for first-time buyers: $7,500 tax credit for first-time homebuyers. Applies only to homes purchased after April 9, 2008 and before July 1, 2009. Call the Bruce Clark Group at 800-611-5419 and request report ID #1051 for a FREE report on the Federal Housing Tax Credit for First-Time Home Buyers program.

Unlike a tax deduction, this is a tax credit, meaning there is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the amount of tax owed the IRS. Therefore, if a new buyer owes $7,500 in income taxes but also qualifies for the maximum credit, nothing will be owed to the IRS that year.

Since it is a tax credit, there is a payback provision, which is different from other tax credits in that this one must be repaid. Beginning in the second tax year following purchase, the full $7,500 credit is repaid at $500 each year over a 15 year period. If the home is sold and no profit is realized before the credit is repaid, the remaining balance is forgiven. If a profit is realized, the repayment cannot exceed the amount of the gain.

Does not apply to current homeowners.

 There are some huge - and welcome - changes coming to the Good Faith Estimate (GFE) and HUD-1 Settlement Statement. Coming Jan. 1, 2010, changes will include a new page on the HUD-1 that allows consumers to easily compare their final loan terms and closing costs with those listed on their GSE. The layout makes much more sense.

Good for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The new GSE and HUD-1 now allow a straight-forward comparison between the HUD-1 and the GFE, with each designated line on the final HUD-1 now including a reference to the relevant line on the GFE. Other changes included shortening the GFE form from four to three pages and adding an instructional section to help borrowers understand their loan offer.

 The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), is about closing costs and settlement procedures. RESPA requires that consumers receive disclosures at various times in the transaction and outlaws kickbacks that increase the cost of settlement services. RESPA is a HUD consumer protection statute designed to help homebuyers be better shoppers in the home buying process, and is enforced by HUD.

The rules are complex and the time limitations are strict, but if you plan to sell investment property, you must consider a 1031 tax-deferred exchange.

Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) offers real estate buyers a golden opportunity by means of significant tax advantage. Section 1031 of the IRC gives a chance to real estate buyers to defer the capital gain taxes that they incur by selling a property. It states, a real property owner can sell his property and then reinvest the proceeds to purchase of like-kind property and defer the capital gain taxes. However, to qualify for 1031 like kind property exchange aka, 1031 tax deferred exchange and gain tax benefits, the transaction has to be done in accordance to the 1031 exchange rules set forth in the tax code and the treasury regulations. Like-kind exchange is considered as one of the best-kept secrets of the Internal Revenue Code.
