How do I get the 1st time home buyer tax credit now, if I have already filed 2008 return?
ANGELA H asked:
I recently purchased a home and do qualify for the $8000 tax credit, but I filed my taxed in January and purchased the home in march. I would like to be able to have this 8000 now so I can do some repairs and furnish my home. I have heard there is now a way for you to get it this year even if you have already filed your taxes? I would really love any information you have? If you know of any links to the forms I need please post!

File an amended return using Form 1040-X. Attach Form 5405 to claim the credit. bostonianinmo
Just file an amended return 1040x and send her in!! Just did the very same thing and got my amended return directly deposited into my account! I thought I would have to wait for a paper check! It took about 9 weeks and there she is !! Good Luck! Cortney R
You would have to amend, paper file an amendment form (1040X), this form is available on the IRS website (http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc308.html), First time home buyer credit form(http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f5405.pdf)
you would have fill this form and mail it in since the IRS does not accept this form through e-file.
I did my taxes for free with this website called UncleTax.com, and I can asking any questions such as this one since I completed my taxes w/ them.
Good Luck Maria H
