Done! Obama signs bill extending, creating Tax Credits

Friday, November 6th, 2009

President Obama signed bill  H.R. 3548, extending unemployment benefits for all states and extending the $8,000 Tax Credit for first home buyers. The bill also creates a $6,500 tax credit for those home buyers who have owned their current primary residence for at least 5 years.  See ‘Housing Tax Credits’ for more details. You can also see how congress voted.

Remember: The $6,500 tax credit took effect when the President signed the bill.

DHW asks: Will this encourage you to buy a home?
