 $8,000 tax credit detailed report

The bill passed 11/4/2009 that extends an $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers.

The credit, which is due to expire on Nov. 30, will be extended until April 30 and expanded to include more affluent homebuyers. People who have owned a home for at least five years would also be eligible for a $6,500 credit if they move.

The homebuyer credit will not be extended beyond April 30, said the measure's sponsor, Republican Senator Johnny Isakson.
