Question: A list of all homeowners and home buyers tax credits?

I am buying a home in California. It is scheduled to close this month. I know I am eligible for the $8000 tax credit. I also know that there are homeowners tax credits out there such as a credit of up to $1500 (30%) for making the home more energy efficient such as installing new windows.

Are there any Other Tax Credits that I should be aware of? I am looking at doing a lot of work on the house and

Answer: If you plan on purchasing energy efficient windows this year then you may be able to take advantage of a great new tax credit. This credit will be applied against any new window purchasing during the upcoming tax year that qualifies as energy efficient. You could receive a tax credit for up to 30% of your window purchase that caps out at a $1,500.00 credit. The windows must be used from January 1st, 2009 through December 31, 2010 The windows must meet federal guidelines to be considered energy efficient.

New doors, or skylights may qualify as well.

There are a lot of new credits out there but these are about the only relating directly to home improvements and home purchases. Remember that new credit of $8,000.00 must be repaid over the next 15 years. It is essentially an interest free loan.

Question: is there any point in me applying for the £500 maternity grant?

hi i was just wondering if any body out there had been awarded the maternity grant even though they were not on any benefits and were not classed as being on a low income,I am currently pregnant with my third child and was not able to claim the grant with my first two due to being awarded the basic family element of tax credits,but have worked out on the tax credit calculator that after the birth of my baby i should be awarded higher than basic family element and that’s after the baby element bonus,just wondered if any one else had been lucky enough to get the grant who was in the same situation as me?
thanks for the replys,think i will apply for it but after i have had the baby,so i can get tax credits reviewed too.

Answer: My wife didn’t qualify when she was pregnant as she wasn’t on benefits…even though she was on a low income.
You have to qualify for the higher element of child tax credit to qualify as well as benefits etc.
When the baby was born she applied again (as you automatically get the higher element of child tax credit with a new baby) and she qualified. She managed to buy all sorts of bits and pieces for the baby, it really helps.
You have until baby is 3 months old to apply. direct.gov has all the info.
Good luck
