My name was added to my uncle's house where I don't live for home equity loan few yrs ago. Currently, the loan is paid off, but my name is still in the house title. I am going to buy a home for my principle residence. Do I qualify for the $8000 first time home buyer tax credit?

According to tax form 5405, it is not my main home, b/c i don't live on it.
should not be qualified to be a first time home buyer?

Hi stevenycc,

As you are listed on the title, you are a owner of the property and one who already owns a property cannot qualify as a first time home buyer.

Ofcourse yes. most probably the bank might ask your uncle to be a co-borrower.

I think chtnggd is either heavily medicated or has secretly accessed a computer at the asylum.
