I am looking to purchase a home, and am wondering about the $8,000 credit. I am going through a divorce. My
ex-husband, prior to us marrying, bought a home. I think i was added to the deed automatically when we married, but have not seen my name on paperwork, nor am i on the financial part of the mortgage. would i qualify for this tax credit?
Trisha,
You are not automatically added to a deed if you husband owned before you married. He would have had to put you on the deed. Go to the County Clerk's Office and ask them to pull the deed for you to see if you are on it. The $8000 tax credit is a great deal; hope you qualify.

Hi Trisha,
One other thing to consider is how long you were married. There are common law rules that might come into play as for as ownership. Check with your divorce attorney.
If you are not on the deed or mortgage...yes you would qualify.
