From items I've read in the past, I thought the $7500 was given over 15 years. That's not the case.

I was in Cinti last week and saw an article in the Enquirer by Dan Hendricks that caught my attention. The first time home buyer has to be within certain income limits and purchase a home by a certain date in order to qualify for the $7500 tax credit.

However this is essentially a zero interest loan. It gets paid back over 15 years or when the house is sold.

Enquirer! You need to read the Joint Committee Technical Explanation. There is much more to it than your post.

You can avoid repayment by dying.
