The federal homebuyer tax credits have been extended by one year for qualified service members ordered on official extended leave duty. If you've returned from duty or are currently deployed, you may qualify. The extension applies to first-time buyers as well as repeat buyers. The extension of time that these credits may be available is based upon dates of "official extended duty" and may not be available in all circumstances. First time buyers may qualify for up to $8,000, repeat buyers may be qualified for up to $6,500.
