Can someone help with the first time home buyer tax break?

There is currently no special federal tax credit for 1st time home buyers.  You can still deduct expenses related to the purchase of your home; see link below.  

Also, if you took funds out of a retirement plan to pay your down payment, you can exclude up to $10,000 from the 10% early withdrawal penalty.
