[Opus 17]

Form 5405 is only filed if you claimed the first time homebuyer credit in 2008, and you report on your tax return that you sold, moved out, or otherwise disposed of the home where you got the credit.  If you are still living in the home, or if you moved out earlier than 2022, there won't be a form 5405 with your 2022 tax return.

Why are you being asked?  There are some problems that can occur if you sell or move out of the house and skip filing the form.  If you moved out before 2022, you needed to have a form 5405 for that year, and you will likely need to amend your prior return rather than provide a copy of the form now. 

If you moved out in 2022 and did not report it correctly, you would need to amend your return to add the form and any repayment requirement.
