I contacted the office of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) to get an update on the $5,000 tax credit for the District of Columbia. I learned from Ms. Tai M. Brown, Legislative Associate, that “[t]he $5,000 first time homebuyer tax credit for the District passed the House and Senate, but has yet been signed into law.” Ms. Tai speculates that because the tax credit has been retroactive in previous years, in its final form it will likely be “retroactive for 2010.”
Congresswoman Norton’s website provides a press release on the tax credits here.
