For those lucky homebuyers who are eligible to receive up to $8,000 tax credit to buy a home, you may have to wait awhile to get the money. Due to a high volume of fraud and scams homebuyers can no longer E-file and receive the tax credit. Therefore, you now have to fill out your tax forms and mail the forms and your closing documents to prove you purchased a home to the IRS. This is causing up to a four month delay in receiving the money. The good news is you will eventually get the money, the bad news is you will have to wait a little longer to get it than those who did last year.
