Here are a few details which have changed in the guidelines. Military Men and Women and Federal Employees Serving Outside the U.S. Have an EXTRA year to buy a principal residence and qualify for the tax credit if they are serving outside the U.S., this only applies to any individual who serves outside the U.S. for at least 90 days after December 31, 2008 and before May 1, 2010 Credit repayment is waived Change in Tax Credit -- Dependents Q. Can a dependent on someone else’s tax return claim the first time homebuyer credit if they otherwise qualify? A. Different rules apply depending upon whether a dependent buys a home after Nov. 6, 2009, or on or before that date. Dependents are not eligible to claim the credit on any purchase after Nov. 6, 2009. However, a dependent who buys a home on or before Nov. 6, 2009 may qualify for the credit. (11/19/09) Married Taxpayers First Time Buyer -- Taxpayers (including spouse, if married) who owned a principal residence during the three years prior to the date of purchase are not eligible for the credit. Repeat Buyer - Taxpayers (including spouse, if married) who have not lived in their principal residence five of the past eight years are not eligible for the credit. In other words, both married taxpayers must meet the requirement. Links www.irs.gov The credit is claimed using Form 5405, which you file with your original or amended tax return. Filing Information For all qualifying purchases in 2010, taxpayers have the option of claiming the credit on either their 2009 or 2010 tax returns. A new version of Form 5405, First-Time Homebuyer Credit, will be available in the next few weeks. A taxpayer who purchases a home after Nov. 6 must use this new version of the form to claim the credit. Likewise, taxpayers claiming the credit on their 2009 returns, no matter when the house was purchased, must also use the new version of Form 5405. Taxpayers who claim the credit on their 2009 tax return will not be able to file electronically but instead will need to file a paper return. A taxpayer who purchased a home on or before Nov. 6 and chooses to claim the credit on an original or amended 2008 return may continue to use the current version of Form 5405. 
Remodeling and Renovations >Damp Environments
If you are a typical home buyer, you are likely to eliminate a home with a basement that has water stains or mildew on the walls or floors. Before you completely rule out a home that you really like because of a water issue, you should get an expert's opinion.
A basement can often be dried out easily. A new set of gutters, repairs to a plugged up outdoor drain, or simple regrading of soil around the foundation may solve the problem. A home inspector or water-proofing company can give you an idea about what is causing the dampness, as well as how much you will have to pay to waterproof the area. Sometimes the home owner will consider negotiating the repair costs with the buyers, especially if the alternative is no offer at all. If the house is a "fixer-upper" and priced accordingly, you could get an excellent value that more timid buyers might pass up.
