On top of the $8,000 Tax Credit……….

Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue passed an additional tax credit for Georgia residents!!!!

Here is the deal:

House Bill 261 gives a credit of either $1,800 or 1.2 percent of the purchase price, whichever is less. (You can only claim one-third of the credit each year, beginning with your 2009 Georgia tax return.) The purpose of the bill is to create a stimulus for home sales, and give a boost to the Georgia real estate market.
Here is how the Georgia Homebuyer Tax Credit applies to home purchases:
• Applies to single-family homes and condos if they are your primary residence
• The property must have been for sale prior to May 11, 2009 and must still be for sale
• The property must be in default on or before March 1, 2009
• The property has already been foreclosed on and is held by the bank or mortgage company
Homes purchased between June 1 and November 30, 2009 that meet the criteria will be eligible for the tax credit.
The new Georgia Homebuyer tax credit makes it an amazing opportunity when combined with the Federal $8,000 Tax credit.
