My fiance purchased a home in August of 2008 in her name only. She got the 7500 tax credit. I have never
owned a home. If we refinance today in both our names, am I eligible for the 8k tax credit? We will be married in September of 2009. Thank you in advance for your help.

If you are still unmarried, you could buy a home this year and get the credit for yourself. That's your only shot.

I am in agreement with Jane on the refinance question, John, but must add that the $8K credit may actually be applied against 2008 income, as per the link below. Good Luck with the nuptials!

FIRST ANSWER
The tax credit of $8,000 is for only for the home purchase for year 2009 and it does have the income limit. It doesn't apply for refinancing the loan amount. Sorry...
