| Will the First Time Home Buyers Credit differ based on taxpayers filing status?
Actually the First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit is in general equal to $7,500 for a qualified home purchase, whether or not the qualified home buyer files his or her taxes either as a single filing status or married filing joint status..
But, the IRS states that "if a household files their taxes as "married filing separately" (in effect, filing two returns), then the credit of $7,500 is claimed as a $3,750 credit on each of the two returns."
