    Only if you sell or rent it out within the first 3 years.

    After 3 years, you are home free!

    When you applied for the $8000 credit, you agreed to live in the home as your main home for at least 3 years.

    if you fail to do so, it's to be paid back.

    No, this refund need not be repaid. However, it IS considered taxable income for the year in which you receive it.
