Just another poorly run government program that is not fair to the people who deserve it. I just bought a house at full market value but because my parents were the ones selling it I cannot get the credit but my tax dollars go to people who can. Scumbags. Waht a complete joke.

Is this true? And do I need to file both 1040x and 5405 or only 5405 forms? Someone told me you have to claim your tax credit within five days of closing escrow or you will not get it . Is this true?

Why is April 8 TH the date? Should it not be January 1 ST, as it is for 2009? This makes no sense to us, we are 1 ST time home buyers that purchesed our a home a month too early??

Do we qualify for the extra 8000 dollars. I don't think it's fair if we do not. We bought our house in one of the most difficult times to buy a house. It's only fair all people should qualify from 2008. We just closed on a house July 08. Do we qualify for the extra 8000 dollars. I don’t think it’s fair if we do not.

I am moving in with my boyfriend who currently owns his house with his roommate. His roommate wants nothing to do with the house when he moves out in October. I am trying to refinance the house with my boyfriend. Do I have to purchase the house outright to be eligible for the credit or does the refinanace count toward this credit?

I am looking at buying another home very soon. For me to qualify for the 8k credit would I have to wait until atleast August 1 2009 or if I purchase in the middle of July would I still recieve the credit? Would the couple of weeks make a difference in recieving it or not? I sold my home on August 1st 2006 and have rented ever since. I am looking at buying another home very soon.
