Now since they are divorced and the house was awarded to him by the court. Is he responsible to repay the full amount $8000.00? He is not selling the house.

jainen Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 >>Is he responsible to repay the full amount $8000.00?<< Only if he stops using the house as a primary residence during the first 36 months. See Scenario S14 on the IRS website at http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=206294,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
