First Time Home Buyer Credit
Lacerte : 2008Dear Sir/Madam,
Request you all to kindly express your opinion/views on the following query on First Time Home Buyer Credit.
Taxpayer acquired Main Home in the US in Feb 2009. He claimed the Home Buyer Credit of $7,500 on his 2008 US Individual Income Tax Return. Post filing, he came to know about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, 2009 that offers $8,000 as Nonrefundable Home Buyer Credit. He then decided to amend his 2008 Tax Return and take the benefit extra $500 dollars from the IRS. Now the question is, whether the taxpayer is liable to repay $8000 to the IRS or not? Please clarify!
