It's always nice to look at ur checking account balance online, and instead of seeing the $19.79 that should be in there, you see $1,072.79!!! What a start to a great weekend!! Which is a well needed turn around since I was stuck in bed all day yesterday with a stomach virus :(

I just filed ours 2 minutes ago. Another year getting quite a bit back. Probably the last year though, since I'm now working a job that pays more than $20k a year and I won't have as much to claim for school since I'll be done in May. but oh well.

I'm still waiting for one from my last seasonal job and we'll have everything. Kinda sucky year last year, so hopefully it'll be worth it for this....and hope this year is much better overall....

You're gonna end up paying it back (it's really a loan, not a credit). Just file without it. lol

And turbotax offerred me the option (we're not first time homeowners though).

Got both our returns back this past week, less than 2 weeks after filing. Went into savings for the time being. Will be getting a shed, paying part of a loan back (from one of our parents), and a few little things. 1/4 of it will stay in savings.

No, the new stimulus package is bumping it from 7,500 to 8,000 and nixing the repayment, turning it into a true credit. Trust me - I've been on top of it :)

Just don't make the mistake of reporting last year's $600 stimulus check as income since it shouldn't taxable. I think I'm getting around $1400 back this year as they overtaxed some of my stock options I cashed in.

Turbotax asked for the information, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't included in the income section. I think it was used for verification that it was me/us filling out the stuff.

Just an FYI, I just read that you had to have purchased after Jan 1st, 2009 to get the new tax credit. Otherwise, you're still under the old credit, which has to be repaid.

Yea, I just read that too, about an hour ago. Bummer :(

News articles and other things I read over the weekend made it sound like it was gonna be retroactive back to April, to cover the other credit.

A lot of people are pissed about it. Someone closed on Dec 22...missed it by about a little more than 2 weeks...and what about us non-first time home buyers? Why can't we get an incentive for buying in the crappy market? :shrug:
