Tax Credit Website

Question: Can someone fill me in on what the homebuyers tax credit is?
I have heard it is $8,000.00 & I have heard it is $15,000.00 Which one is it really?And can anyone send me a website or something that tells about it. We are in the process of looking for a home and I want to make sure we don’t miss out. Thanks!
Answer: This is the IRS site with info on FTHB credit. Basically it is $8,000 free money if you qualify as a first time home buyer by 12/1/09.
