Get your taxes done using TurboTax

There are a couple of important clues in the information you shared from your looking up your home buyer credit through the IRS.  First, it states that you purchased the home in 2009.  Second, it states that you received a credit of $8000.

 

Based on those two pieces of information, you do not need to worry about entering anything into your tax return with regard to the home buyer credit.  Yours was claimed in 2009 instead of 2008.  The maximum amount of the 2008 credit was $7500, not $8000.  

 

The statement about the amount that was repaid due to reported disposition just means that you have not repaid any of the credit due to selling the house within the time frame that is would be required to be repaid.  It does not mean that you need to repay the credit.
