Explanations:
First Time Home Buyer -
A buyer who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase. For married taxpayers, the law tests the ownership history of both the home buyer and thier spouse. For example, if you have not owned a home in the past three years but your spouse has owned a principal residence, neither you nor your spouse qualifies for the first-time home buyer tax credit. Ownership of a vacation home or rental property not used as a principal residence does not disqualify a buyer as a first-time home buyer.
