When you have a tax credit it is an amount that could possible reduce your tax liability after your income tax return is completed correctly.

For income tax you can have a nonrefundable credit and a refundable credit.

With the refundable credit any amount that is more than your income tax liability would refunded to you.

With the nonrefundable credit the amount of the tax credit would reduce your tax liability to -0- ZERO and it could be possible that you carryover the remaining amount of nonrefundable credit to a future year.

How do you apply for first home buyer tax credit?

If you were a first-time homebuyer in 2008, you should know about and begin to plan for a new tax credit that was recently put into place. Some details of the credit include: * The tax credit is applicable to taxpayers who purchased homes after April 8, 2008, and before July 1, 2009. * The First Time Homebuyer tax credit will reduce the taxpayer's tax bill or will increase their refund, dollar for dollar. * The homebuyer tax credit will be paid to eligible taxpayers even if they don't owe any tax or the credit is more than what they owe. * This tax credit works almost like an interest-free loan in that it has to be paid back over a 15-year period.
