Home Buyer Tax Credits
The National Association of Home Builders has designed a new website with everything you need to know in order to claim the recently extended first-time home buyer tax credit or the new repeat home buyer credit. That's right. If you already own a home, there is now a credit to move up. Check out the site here:
Federal Housing Tax Credit: Home: "The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 has extended the tax credit of up to $8,000 for qualified first-time home buyers purchasing a principal residence. It also authorized a tax credit of up to $6,500 for qualified repeat home buyers."

Virginia Opens Its Solar and Wind Incentive Program
If you are interested in adding solar or wind power to your home or commercial space in Virginia, you may be eligible for a rebate.
An online form to request a conditional reservation of funds from the Virginia Residential and Commercial Solar and Wind Incentives Program is available here: http://www.dmme.virginia.gov/DE/ARRA-Public/SEPRebate.shtml
Virginia Residential and Commercial Solar and Wind Incentive rebates will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are exhausted. A two-step process will be used to allocate the money. First, applicants will request a conditional reservation of funds. Each request will be reviewed by DMME. When a reservation is approved, funds will be set aside while the applicant is allowed up to 180 days to complete work. The second part of the rebate process requires the applicant who successfully reserved funds to provide documentation of costs and compliance with all program requirements in order to receive a rebate check. That part of the process cannot be completed now. No cost and compliance documentation will be accepted and no rebates will be processed for 45 days after the online reservation system is opened, which occurred on Nov. 4, 2009.
Applications for rebate reservations that are submitted after funds have been exhausted will be placed on a wait list in the order of submission. If additional funds become available, the funds will be reserved for wait-listed applicants in the order that they applied until funds are exhausted.
Questions about the Virginia Residential and Commercial Solar and Wind Incentive Program should be directed to the following email address: FAQrenew@dmme.virginia.gov. Questions will be answered by DMME and posted to a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on the website for the program, here: http://www.dmme.virginia.gov/DE/ARRA-Public/SEPRebate.shtml.
