My family and I have been here since July 2008 on military orders and will be leaving in July 2011. My question is in regards to qualifying for the First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit. I have conducted research on this topic and I can’t seem to get a straight answer and need clarification. I will be purchasing a home within the time frame before 30 April 2011 (under contract) and 30 June 2011 (close). According to the IRS website I would have had to been overseas for at least 90 days after 31 Dec 2008 and before 1 May 2010. This is where I'm confused. I have been stationed overseas the entire time that this tax credit was available. My question is “Do I qualify for the credit”, as long as I enter into a contract before 30 April 2011 and close before 30 June 2011? If I qualify, can you please provide references? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Master Sergeant Guy Derouen My name is Master Sergeant Guy Derouen and I am a U.S. Marine stationed in Okinawa, Japan.
