I am m a first time home buyer who recently got married. We are buying the home with my wife's grandfather's trust. Do we still qualify for the $8,000 homebuyer Tax Credits?


ANSWER


The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:

See the eligibility requirements, via IRC 36(c)(3)(A). You cannot buy the house, from a related party, but

if you simply use "gifted" money to purchase the home, from an unrelated third party, you are eligible; 

assuming that the other eligibility requirements are satisfied.
