What is the $8,000 Homebuyers Credit? PLUS $10,000

Homebuyers Credit contained in the stimulus bill that President Obama is supposed to sign today:
1. Tax Credit of $8,000 for purchase of home
2. No repayment required
3. Must purchase home between Jan1 2009 and Nov 30 2009
4. Must be “new home buyer” = no home ownership in last 3 years
5. Income restriction: 75k for singles, 150k for married

You can get an additional $10,000 if you buy a new home. The IRS says it's available for qualified buyers who on or after March 1, 2009, and before March 1, 2010, purchase a qualified principal residence that has never been occupied. The buyer must reside in the new home for a minimum of two years immediately following the purchase date.

Plus, California is working on getting this cash into your hands, rather then when you do your taxes.
