My daughter and finace are buying a house and wanting to get the $8,000 first time home owner credit. She will not qualify because I am taking her as a dependent. I was told that they could allocate the full $8,000 credit to her fiancé and being a "reasonable" method to allocate. Is this true?

If they are going to buy this house in 2010 (not 2009), and assuming that they are getting married in 2010, why not just wait to claim the credit on their joint 2010 return?
