The single largest provision in the Housing Act is a measure allowing taxpayers buying their first home to take a tax credit of up to $7,500 of the purchase price. Qualified home-buyers can subtract the credit amount from their federal income tax when they buy a home and even get a refund if the credit exceeds their tax. However, they are then required to pay the credit back over fifteen years. The result is that the credit resembles an interest-free loan that must be repaid to the government.
