Qualifications for $8,000 tax credit:

Must be a first-time home buyer, which means you cannot have owned a home for the past three years prior to purchase.
Timeframe: Must purchase a home (close and receive title) on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009.
Cannot purchase a home from a close relative such as your spouse, parent, grandparent, child or grandchild.
Must use as a primary residence. The home cannot be used as a vacation home or rental property.
Must make less than $75,000 for a single taxpayer or less than $150,000, if filing jointly.
FHA-approved lenders, only -- At this time, only FHA-approved loans are required if tax credit is used as a down payment.
Down payment or closing costs -- Qualifying buyers can use these funds upfront as a down payment or for closing costs.
Need 3.5% upfront -- While the $8,000 tax credit can be used for the down payment or closing costs, home buyers must still come up with FHA's required 3.5% down payment on their own.
