First Time Homebuyer's Tax Credit. There is no minimum income for claiming the credit. If you dont owe any taxes you can still receive it IN CASH. You can claim the credit when you file your 2009 tax return - or, if you'd rather NOT WAIT, file an amended 2008 return and receive the money upon purchasing your home. There are also program that will ADVANCE the money to help on your down payment.
