I have seen the US economy stand in the midst of the economic crisis which has affected the world. It did the worst to the best names in the IT industry since 2008 and to note; it has amassed 62,000 people to lose their jobs in the US alone. 8,000 of these were from giant wireless provider company Sprint, 6,000 from electronics company Philips, 3,400 from chip maker Texas Instruments and thousands more from other multinational companies that established corporations in the United States of America. I know there would be more but that would be already out of the information technology industry. I have witnessed how the President has worked to ask lawmakers to approve and support the 825 billion dollar stimulus package. They are all in dire need of help where to get the funds for the real estate bailout and emergency benefits for workers. Even I know how hard it is to survive for families and people who live from paycheck to paycheck. There are a lot of urban hunger and malnutrition incidents after these layoffs and it was high time that the people who built the nation be rewarded with the right tax credits due them.
If I was starting off from college, graduated and got a job; I would expect my skills and contribution to the US workforce be recognized by at least helping me treat my family and children to decent shelter. I know if I were in their shoes I would not be able to afford paying for it nor am I going to consider skipping those loans I had for education since I do not want to risk that to balloon in the coming years. It would be doubly hard to pay that off on an expected high interest rate. The good news is that there is available tax credit for people who would be able to file written and binding contracts until April 30. That would mean huge amount of up to 8,000 dollars for first time home buyers and up to 6,500 dollars for people who have lived consecutively in their homes in the last 5 to 8 years. Everything would end in June 30th this year and there are no signs of extensions. If I were you I would probably be first in line to get that for my folks. Since I am single I would be able to have income limits to 125,000 dollars unlike my married peers who would have it for 225,000 dollars instead. That is not the end of it because they will also have 20,000 dollars phase out of the credit for all of us. This is a huge chop off the original price and I would like to personally recommend IT workers to avail of this before it ends. It would benefit them (the IT workers), their families and the real estate industry. Please don't let this opportunity slip away!
IT Workers: Grab the Real Estate Bailout!
Thousands upon thousands of Information Technology workers have been laid off last year and have been severely affected by the economic crisis. INTEL has closed shop in the Southern part of this country. ACER also gave in and closed down making around 2000 semiconductor workers jobless in the past year. It seems that everyone is having a hard time coping up with the greatest financial turmoil since the great depression; but I am optimistic that sooner or later we would all be alright. The US federal government has issued an awesome package of Real Estate Tax Benefit for first time home owners and a part of it for people who are upgrading their primary home of 5-8 years. You need to consecutively live on that lot in order to benefit from this plan. I also learned that this needs to be filed before April 30, 2010 before termination of credits happen. If I were you I would take this chance and grab the opportunity to file and get that $8,000.00 tax credit so you can at least start the recovery. Information Technology workers who just got back to their posts or got a new one must seize the opportunity and take advantage of the benefits the federal government has presented.
I also heard over the news that the US President compromised with the republicans and some of his democrats over the details of the stimulus package. He also did not pursue anymore some of the things he pointed out that he needs to get the country running again. He just made something better with what he has right now and I hope it is going to be sufficient once everything becomes normal. If there would be some glitches in the way, I think they will get to fix it faster now since GDP growth already increased. The other $6,500.00 tax credit for people who had their primary home sold after living there for 5 out of 8 consecutive years would be really beneficial. If they just prove their earnings are within the limits which the federal government indicated then they would be able to avail of this without any hitches. I also saw IPHONE applications make things easier for people who need this to get their life started all over again.
