]]> Comment on Tax Credit Extention on the Horizon – Passes Senate by Ryan Kucera http://austinrealestateeye.featuredblog.com/?p=83#comment-12 Ryan Kucera Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:39:01 +0000 http://austinrealestateeye.featuredblog.com/?p=83#comment-12 Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, speaking on the Senate floor on Monday, listed the first-time home buyers tax credit among proposed amendments he would like to attach to an unemployment insurance bill. Under Reid's plan, the $8,000 tax credit would be phased out over time, dropping to $6,000 in April, $4,000 in July, and $2,000 in October, before expiring at the end of 2010. Reid's offer is a counterproposal to Senator Johnny Isakson who wants to extend the $8,000 tax credit through June and expand it to all buyers of homes that will be a primary residence. Isakson, a former real estate agent, would also raise the income limit of eligible home buyers to $300,000 per family from the current $150,000 limit. http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE59P3VO20091026?rpc=59 Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, speaking on the Senate floor on Monday, listed the first-time home buyers tax credit among proposed amendments he would like to attach to an unemployment insurance bill.
