Most Escondido home buyers are aware of the first-time home buyer tax credit. Current owners of Escondido real estate are aware of the $6,500 tax credit. But are these real credits or are they tax deductions. They are real credits. The importance of the tax credit is that it is a dollar-for-dollar tax reduction. For example, if a first-time Escondido home buyer were to owe $10,000 in taxes, after the credit they would owe $2,000. Better yet, this tax credit can be refundable in some cases. If the elgible buyer owed nothing in taxes, they could get a check from the IRS for $8,000 or $6,500 depending on the program.
