The House of Representatives voted unanimously on Monday, Oct 12, 2009 to extend the deadline for the home buyers’ tax credit for eligible military personnel and foreign service and intelligence officers. They are allowed to apply for the $8,000 tax credit for one year beyond its current November 30, 2009 deadline.  Those meeting the underlying requirements for the credit must also be serving overseas or have spent at least 90 days deployed outside of the country during the current calendar year.
