By preparing the return correctly and attaching all of the required documentation that is necessary and attaching it to the paper income tax return that you will have to mail to the correct IRS address and then have some patience because it will be a few weeks before you will see any thing coming back to you.Go to www.irs.gov and use the search box for First-Time Homebuyer Credit
Legislative changes in November 2009 expanded and extended the credit and also added documentation requirements for claiming the credit. Due to increased compliance checks by the IRS, failure to submit documentation will slow down the issuance of any applicable refund.
Filing Requirements
2009 Tax Return
Because of the documentation requirements for claiming the credit, taxpayers who claim the credit on their 2009 tax return must file a paper --- not electronic --- return and attach Form 5405, First-Time Homebuyer Credit and Repayment of the Credit (see the instructions for help with the form), with one of the following:
*. For purchasers of conventional homes, a copy of Form HUD-1, Settlement Statement, or other settlement statement, showing all parties' names and signatures, property address, sales price and date of purchase.
*. For purchasers of mobile homes who are unable to get a settlement statement, a copy of the executed retail sales contract showing all parties' names and signatures, property address, purchase price and date of purchase.
*. For a newly constructed home where a settlement statement is not available, a copy of the certificate of occupancy showing the owner's name, property address and date of the certificate.
The new legislation extends the credit to long-time residents of the same main home if they purchase a new main home. To qualify, eligible taxpayers must show that they lived in their old homes for a five-consecutive-year period during the eight-year period ending on the purchase date of the new home. For long-time residents claiming the credit, the IRS recommends attaching, in addition to the documents described above, any of the following documentation of the five-consecutive-year period:
*. Form 1098, Mortgage Interest Statement, or substitute mortgage interest statements,
*. Property tax records or
*. Homeowner's insurance records
Homebuyer Credit Expanded and Extended
The Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009, signed into law on Nov. 6, 2009, extends and expands the first-time homebuyer credit allowed by previous Acts.
Under the new law, an eligible taxpayer must buy, or enter into a binding contract to buy, a principal residence on or before April 30, 2010 and close on the home by June 30, 2010. For qualifying purchases in 2010, taxpayers have the option of claiming the credit on either their 2009 or 2010 return.
The new law also:
*. Authorizes the credit for long-time homeowners buying a new principal residence
*. Raises the income limitations for homeowners claiming the credit
News release 2009-108 has the details, as do two new IRS videos in English and Spanish.
Members of the military, Foreign Service and intelligence community serving outside the U.S. should also be aware of new benefits in the law that applies particularly to them.
Following is general information for first-time homebuyers who settled on a new home on or before Nov. 6, 2009
