回复：Please help on First-time home buyer credut.

Yes, If you can close the deal at the end of March, and get the formal close statement. (This is an only-and-must document you need to attached in your tax return to get the first home buyer credit). It doesn't matter when you're going to move in after closing. Who knows it's under leasing? You don't have to let them know. By the way, you can not efile your tax return to get the $8000 credit because the hard copy of the close statement must be provided.
