Maine First-Time Homebuyers Go for $8000 Tax Credit

Are you looking to buy your first home in Maine? Maybe you have heard of the first-time home buyer tax credit. Qualified first-time home buyers purchasing a principal residence before December 1, 2009 can get up to $8000 dollars as a tax credit from the federal government.

The Exception has been covering this opportunity but clearly our readers have many unanswered questions. And frankly, we don't know all the answers.
