Home Buyer Tax Credit October

Question: Tax credit for first time home buyers…?
I purchased my first home in August for 50,000. I paid cash for the home. I lived in the home for about two weeks and discovered it had some problems that I could not afford to fix so I sold the home in October. My question is, do I still get the first time home buyer tax credit? Even though I sold my house?
Man that sucks!!
Answer: Heck no. The (up to) $8000 deal was only if you ALSO stayed in the house for 36 months after buying it.
You didn’t.
