What if I built my own home?
The homebuyer tax credit is no longer available in 2012.
You still qualify for the credit. For purposes of the home buyer tax credit, a principal residence that is constructed by the home owner is treated as having been purchased on the date the owner first occupies the home. If the home is built by a home builder, then the purchase date is the settlement date.
