If you’ve already owned a home in the past, as long as it’s been at least 3 years since you did, you might qualify for this tax credit.
If you currently own land or own a vacation or second home but not a primary home, you may qualify for this tax credit.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 established the $8,000 Federal Housing Tax Credit. This is a real tax credit, and it applies to homes or condos bought as primary residences from January 1, 2009 to December 1, 2009.

Do you know if one is eligible for the $8,000. tax credit if they previously owned LAND but not a primary residence in the previous 3 years? Can anyone tell me where this information can be located? Thanks.
Pretty sure you could have qualified even if you owned land.
