I closed on my home in Sept 2009, filed my taxes on time, received $6500 rebate in with my return. During the months following I received letters stating they were reviewing my taxes and were sorry for inconvenience that it was taking so long. I contacted my tax preparer which told me not to worry; everthing is fine and it’s just a precedure. WELL now I have received a letter stating that I must return the rebate PLUS interest already tacked on because I didn’t qualify due to closing date being in Sept; dates were to be from Nov thru May. I must say this is a crock! Don’t they know not to send it in the first place if there is a question??
I feel totally ripped off especially now that I owe them more than they gave me!!

The home stimulus refund option is nice but I prefer the advanatges of the first time home buyer tax credit. This will stimulate the economy much more then a mere tax credit on interest fee. Another expense that prevent people from buying a home is the land transfer tax whihc should be abolish in hard time. First home buyer credit for tax is nice as it give a lump sum tax credit after the first year. Buying a house comes with many expenses other then the mortgage and electricity bill. We need to equip ourselves with tools and other accessories. So yes, a stimulus tax credit is good, but is not big enough compare to the first time home buyer tax credit.

how come you can’t claim your maintenance fees that you pay to your condo or homeowners association, it seems like you are paying an extra mortgage payment. my homeowners association only mow the lawn, they don’t prune, they don’t fix the sprinkler system as they claim, it’s just money you are paying somebody for nothing.

why isnt this available to all home owners. We stimulate economy every year with basic renovations and house maintenance expense we do. First house buyers are entitled to a rebate why mortgage interest payer cannot have a tax credit for all the interest they pay on their houses. some of us are struggling to keep things in line when it comes to money , mortgage payment and food. a tax rebate for home owners would be vital to the economy and local stimulus for local business. Banks and car manufacturer are allready having their share of the government money, why do working american dont have anything.
