W-3 and a W-2. W-3c doesn't apply because you are going from no W-2 to a W-2. You are not correcting an existing W-2. taxbilly

8867 is now available in ATX. taxbilly

Seems clear to me to be the opposite. It doesn't say only for homes purchased after Nov 6: This revision of Form 5405 can be used to claim the credit only in the following situations: You are claiming the credit on your 2008 original or amended return for a home you purchased in 2009. You are claiming the credit on your 2009 original or amended return for a home purchased in 2009 or 2010. taxbilly

Now that's punny, C :~) taxbilly

>>I would be using the old form since I would be amending the return using ATX 2008. He is allowed to use the old form on the 2008 amendment I believe.<< Read the directions for the new form. taxbilly

If this is going to be a political thread can it be labelled as such? taxbilly

Why are you shouting?? taxbilly

Amending 2008 is a good idea. You however have to use the new form. ATX doesn't have it posted yet but the form and the instructions are at irs.gov. taxbilly

Both mothers probably received the 250 in 2009. The 400 credit comes into play only if they worked. taxbilly

The point is you need not have drawn social security the entire 2009 to have qualified for the credit. taxbilly

>>Therefore if they have been receiving their benefits ALL YEAR (2009) they received the 250.00.<< Where did you find this since it is incorrect. taxbilly

Have you actually seen the form letter? I am curious as to how they knew how much he lost at their casino. taxbilly

>>Therefore if they have been receiving their benefits ALL YEAR (2009) they received the 250.00.<< Where in the 1040 Express Answers Book did you read this/ taxbilly

I believe you are the one that's confused. Lion's and jainen's comments, in my opinion :~), are correct. taxbilly

At least until next year when the rules change again. taxbilly

For some reason a link with commas doesn't work. The page can be accessed by going to irs.gov and put basic tools in the search box. taxbilly

The new form is out. taxbilly
