Deductions & credits

To help you resolve this issue, you need to tell us:

  • Whether you actually received the homebuyer credit or not
  • If you did, whether you sold the home or still live in it
  • If you did, whether the loan has been paid off
  • Which answers in the homebuyer credit portion of the TurboTax interview you're unable to change

 

If you did receive the credit, go to the IRS's First-Time Homebuyer Credit Account Look-up page to check the payoff status of the credit.

 

Note that the IRS's records have not always been reliable regarding this credit. 

 

You'll need to file a paper return this year if you can't resolve the issue to avoid the rejection.
