First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit – Make Sure You Qualify Before You Claim
October 20th, 2009 | 
Author: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has more than 100,000 civil examinations of potential fraud related to the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit according to HousingWire.com. In response to the examinations, The House Ways and Means Oversight Subcommittee will be holding a hearing on the administration of the tax credit.
“I am pleased that more than one million taxpayers claimed the first-time homebuyer credit,” said subcommittee chairman Rep. John Lewis (D-GA). “However, I am concerned about recent reports that there have been fraudulent schemes involving the credit.”
The article in HousingWire.com continued to state that the IRS had completed its first successful prosecution of a first time homebuyer tax credit fraud-related case in late July.
