Tax question buy new house?

[heartsy77]

We just got our mortgage ap approved and I was wondering if there are first time home buyer tax incentives left? I know there were large ones in 2008; we just were not ready then.

the only people who can still recieve those tax credits are members of the United State military and certain goverment employees who served outside the United States between 31 December 2008 and 1 May 2010. You must complete the purchase contract before 30 April 2011 and complete settlement before 30 June 2011. For everyone else the credits expired on 30 June 2010.
