What's the latest news on extending the $8,000 Tax Credit for First Time Homebuyers

The question I get asked a lot is, "What's the latest news on extending the $8,000 Tax Credit for First Time Homebuyers". As of today, Congress has NOT extended the program past the current end date of December 1, 2009 however it is in consideration. Check out this link on a current news story: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=aziH1b.eNBT4.

I have also enclosed this FAQ link that may answer other questions you or a friend may have regarding the $8,000 Tax Credit. Specifically, see question #19 on the following FAQ link. This addresses the question of obtaining the credit prior to filing 2009 tax returns.
