Are You Claiming The Home Buyer Tax Credit? IRS Says No To Electronic Filing!

By

ATTENTION HOME BUYERS! 

If you are planning to buy a home before the tax credit expires, you need to be aware of the new forms and filing requirements from the IRS. 

Basically, the IRS has a new form that must be completed (IRS Form 5405 "First-Time Homebuyer Credit and Repayment of the Credit")  and the tax return must be mailed in as a hardcopy.

You can still use tax preparation software to complete your return, but you will need to print it out and mail it in with all appropriate documents.
