How do I claim the tax credit? Do I need to complete a form or application?
Participating in the tax credit program is easy. You claim the tax credit on your federal income tax return. Specifically, home buyers should complete IRS Form 5405 to determine their tax credit amount, and then claim this amount on line 67 of the 1040 income tax form for 2009 returns (line 69 of the 1040 income tax form for 2008 returns). No other applications or forms are required, and no pre-approval is necessary. However, you will want to be sure that you qualify for the credit under the income limits and first-time home buyer tests. Note that you cannot claim the credit on Form 5405 for an intended purchase for some future date; it must be a completed purchase.
irs 오피스에 가시면 local office 리스트가 있습니다. 가까운 곳에 office가 있으면 가셔서 문의하시면 도와줄겁니다. 기본적으로 1040x를 작성하는 것이니 이 form을 프린트하셔서 작성하신 후, 맞게 했는지 irs local office에서 도움을 받으면 될 것 같습니다. (저도 그렇게 해서 직접 file했고 2달만에 받았습니다.)
