Trulia Voices: I own Mobile home now, Can I still get the 8,000 dollar tax credit for first time home buyer, if I buy a househttp://www.trulia.com/voices/Home_Buying/I_own_Mobile_home_now_Can_I_still_get_the_dolla-92334en-usAnswer by Moniquehttp://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-52241-222258/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-52241-222258/It's my understanding, I'm not a tax preparer, but if you've deducted interest off you taxes within last 3 years you can't use this credit. If you haven't owed a home in the last 3 years meaning you haven't deducted interest you can use the first time home buyer credit. Your best bet would be to talk to your tax preparer. I've attached a good link that explains the tax credit.Tue, 24 Feb 2009 11:23:08 -0800Answer by Dana Schusterhttp://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-70461-250734/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-70461-250734/A mobile is considered a home so you would most likely not be considered a first time home buyer.Tue, 24 Feb 2009 11:04:34 -0800
