What is the easiest way to get my $8000 first time home buyer credit amended, so I can receive it early?
Cameron F asked:
I am a first time home buyer as of March 31st. I was going to wait and get my $8000 credit when I filed next year, but I found out you can amend it, and go ahead and receive the money. I filed my taxes myself last year. What forms or website to I visit to go ahead and get the process started so I can recieve it in 8-10 weeks?

There is only one way. File an amended 2008 tax return using IRS Form 1040X. It must be filed via hardcopy (no e-filing). Expect a 12-16 week wait.
