caryn becker: First-Time Homebuyers Tax Credit
- 01/07/09 01:51 PM
I have been diligent in educating the public about the First-Time Homebuyers Tax Credit. I don't know about you, but I like to buy things on sale. And right now, real estate is ON SALE! New home owners can find deals at incredible interest rates. But there is a bit of a problem? The IRS has not yet completed Form 5405 which needs to be filed along with their 2008 income taxes. This tax credit was signed into effect July 30, 2008. Be sure to spread the word because the media isn't. … (3 comments)

They are unable to provide any guidance as well. In order to … (1 comments)
