My best buddy will be getting the homebuyer's credit, and I'm really glad for her. She works hard and is good with money...she works where I used to work so I know she makes good decisions with the relative pittance they pay her. I'm sure it will help them: her boyfriend is currently a student using his Veteran's benefits (a Marine who served in Iraq and Afghanistan) so they can use the help.
I know WHY people get tax credits I just get bummed when I write the check to the IRS every year...I had them take out a bit extra on my second consulting job, but it's still gonna hurt! Not enough hours worked at a time to have a bunch of taxes out...so my total tax liability will be even bigger than normal.
