First-time homebuyers are eligible for an $8,000 fully refundable tax credit, which means it will be paid out even if a taxpayer owes no tax or if the credit is more than the tax they owe. Move-up buyers who have owned and lived in their home for at least five consecutive years out of the last eight are eligible for a credit of up to $6,500 on the purchase of a new residence. For members of the military, the deadline to qualify for either tax credit is extended through May 1, 2011 for those serving on qualified official extended duty service outside the U.S. for at least 90 days before May 1, 2010. No credit is allowed if the purchase price of the home exceeds $800,000.
"The extension and expansion of the federal tax credit program provides a compelling reason for home shoppers to purchase a new KB home," said Vince DePorre, regional president of KB Home. "Our Built to Order experience, which gives homebuyers the power to personalize their beautiful, energy-efficient new home, is now even more affordable. KB Home's sales counselors are ready to help home shoppers get started today."
