- you might qualify for partial credit if your income exceed the above amounts
- purchase must be made before December 1, 2009 (actual closing so you need to allow your self at least 45 days from the date of contract agreement pushing the date to November 15 - also remember holidays!)
- tax is 100% reduction in what taxpayer owes and not required to be returned in the future
- tax is supposed to be easy to file
