I am planning on buying a home before I marry. My soon to be wife bought a home about 4 years ago. If I purchase and close on the house before marrying her, can I still claim the $8K?

First Time Home Buyer Stimulus
Tim C. Wood asked:
To rebuild US economy that had tumbled due to recession in the third quarter of 2008, President Obama and his administration has signed up 2009 economic stimulus plan that has to work on many aspects. Almost all the citizens are facing financial crunch and thus are unable to meet all responsibilities. It was felt by the team that among all of them the most sufferer is the sect of homeowners who had taken home loan under high rate of interest and due to the financial crisis they are now unable to repay their loan amount. The first time home buyer stimulus is specially designed to help the first time homeowners to have their house on easy terms and lower interest rate.
When anyone buys his first house it is much more than just a house and investment. There are lot of emotions and sentiments involved in buying and decorating it. It is ones dream house that has many years of planning and savings in it. And if due to non-repayment, this house is on the verge of foreclosure, it has not only the pain of loosing the house but also much more than that. The dreams and emotions attached with that house are unmatched. So there is a special package for first time homeowners so that they can buy their house on affordable rates.
First time home buyer stimulus has made buying home easier and affordable for most of the citizens who had postponed buying house due to the current financial condition. Since the first time homeowners are offered quite less and fixed rate of interest, they are able to pay the installments also. The monthly installments are fixed keeping in mind the monthly income of the borrower so that the loan is completely affordable for them. They also get tax rebate here and so the money saved every month is used in other things like shopping new apparel for young ones or kids that has been postponed for some time seeing the hard days.
There are people who have not gone out to dine and if they are relieved and they save some money every month, they can go out and dine or plan a weekend holiday or so. In this way other sectors of the society is going to be benefited and this will enhance employment opportunities also. As soon as the customer-spending percentage will increase it is going to affect all the sectors of life and society.
