Homebuyers could get a $5,000 tax credit to help make buying a home more affordable.
This bill would create a new tax credit for people buying a main home. Individuals could get $5,000, or couples filing jointly could get $10,000, to help with the cost of buying a principal residence. This credit would be available to those who haven't claimed it in the past four years and meet certain income limits.
Today, there is no specific federal tax credit for buying a home like the one proposed in this bill. If this bill becomes law, eligible individuals could get a $5,000 tax credit when they buy a main home. For joint filers, the credit would be $10,000. Eligibility would depend on meeting income limits and not having used the credit recently.
