Tax Credit

A tax credit is money that the government refunds you when you pay your taxes. In 2009, the Obama administration announced an $8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers, which lasts until November 30, 2009. In some states you can take a loan out and repay it when you receive the $8,000 tax credit money after you file your 2009 taxes.
