A co-op is also a home.. so yes. But look into the other rules ( should not have bought a home in the last 5 years, income less than 220k etc) to confirm.

I didn't know there was a $6500 one. I own a co-op and I qualified for the $7500 one. Yeah any type of home counts, as long as you own it (not rent) and it meets the other criteria of eligibility.

6500 is the most recent one. The 7500 one had to paid back in taxes over 10 years. The 8000 credit was only for 1st time home-buyers.

So was the $7500 one I thought? I'm a first time owner, but I didn't buy in the right year to qualify for the $8k one. That's the one I wanted. This one sucks b/c I have to pay it all back if/when I sell.

The original tax credit for $7500 has to be paid back over a period of 15 years, at a rate of $500 per year via your tax return. Talk to your tax preparer... It was really an interest free loan.

The OP may have been referring to the $6500 tax credit that is now available to buyers who are not first time home buyers. There is an $8000 credit available to first time buyers.

right, and the $7500 for first time homebuyers as well. I don't think non-first time homebuyers should be able to qualify for credits like these b/c you will get too many people will try & "milk the system." Plus, the non-first timers probably didn't buy during a recession, so maybe they paid a little more, but they also had more $$ in their pockets.
