Here's a Tip from the I-R-S. . .

Did you buy a house or a condo recently? If you did, it could mean money in your pocket.  That’s right, if you bought a home last year… you could get a 75-hundred dollar interest-free loan - courtesy of Uncle Sam -- and you have 15 years to pay it back. On the other hand, if you buy a home this year before December the first, you can get a tax credit of up to eight-thousand-dollars either on this year’s return or next year’s return, and you don’t even have to pay it back.  To learn more about the first-time homebuyer credit go to IRS.gov
