A new first-time homebuyer credit of up to $7,500 has been designed by Congress to entice middle-class taxpayers to get off the sidelines and buy their first home. The IRS anticipates that for the period that this temporary tax credit applies — for homes purchased after April 8, 2008 and before July 1, 2009 — over $13.5 billion in credits will be claimed.
