Gross income is before any deduction. Taxable income is after 401K.

The income limits are outlined as incomes up to $75,000 for an indiviudal and $150,000 for couples. You sould talk over your individual income and qualifications fo the tax credit with your mortgage and tax professional to make sure you understand your specific circumstances.

Hi,

It is my understanding that the credit is AGI (adjusted gross income)of $95,000. Of course it's best to ask you tax provider for clairification, However attached below is a quick FACT SHEET about that is used by the National Association of Home Builders.
