First Time

Why does the first time home buyer credit start on April 8th?
According to the first time hope buyer credit info on publication 17 it states that you had to have purchased you home after April 8 2009. Whats the deal with that? Why April? Why not January 1, 2008? I bought my house on March 6th but could not move in Until April 15th because the house was not inhabitable. I assume i do not qualify.

this site helps a little, but i think you meant april 8, 2008 right and to claim the date is your closing date not move in or pre-approved loan, at least thats what i am told. now i saw on internet saying obama might have where we dont have to pay back the 7,500 who know i am trying to found out this too. so if your closing date was after april 8 2008 then u quilfy so get that money
