Question I understand that if you are a first time home buyer but purchasing the house from a relative then you are not eligible for the tax credit. My son and daughter-in-law are in that situation, however, they are not going to enter into a loan directly with my duaghter-in-law's father, they are going to get a regular bank loan to buy the house. Does that make a difference? Also could the loan be in just my son's name, perhaps.
Answer You are correct in the fact that your son and daughter-in-law are no eligible for the First-Time Homebuyer Credit because they are purchasing the home from a relative. It would not change if the home was in your son's name since they are married at the time they purchase the house.
