The basics of the $8,000 Home Buyer tax credit and what defines a First Time Home Buyer and the basics of the new $6,500 tax credit for current homeowners that have lived in their home for at least 5 years that want to buy another home (to live in). Clarify qualifying criteria including:

Income limitations

Deadline(s) – when a buyer needs to have a signed P&S and when the buyer needs to close

Different ways of filing for the tax credit (Amend 2008 tax return or file in 2009)

How to determine eligible tax credit when buying a 2, 3 or 4 family home

Scenarios (IRS.gov has a list of scenarios explaining different situations. For example, if a First Time Home Buyer is buying and his father co-signs the mortgage, is the First Time Home Buyer still eligible for the tax credit?)

Who is not eligible? (ie. Buyers that buy a home from a relative)
