OK, so the IRS wants to know why your credit repayment is only $267.  They must think you owe more.  Do you? How much credit did you receive in 2008, and did you buy the house with a spouse or another person?

 

The credit was 10% of the price of the house, up to $75,000, and repayable over 15 years.  So most people will have a $7500 credit that is payable at $500 per year.  The IRS wants to know why you are paying less.
