Who says Twitter is a waste of time? Note the tweet received from taxrascal. “@hankbailey if not married, you can assign the first-time homebuyer credit as applicable to each co-buyer.” This from Author Kay Bell. Kay goes on to Tweet, “see pg 2 (bottom right) of Form 5405 & instructions. Unmarried A & B buy 1st home; e.g. A claims $5,000 credit, B claims $3,000.” Also check out IRS credit claiming scenarios.
