For those who have recently bought a house

So, FH and I just closed last week (woohoo!), and of course we want to take advantage of the first time homebuyers tax credit....I know we need the HUD1 Form to do so. So, my question is, when do we get that? Should we have got it at the closing (because we didn't)? Should I contact my attorney? help!

Re: For those who have recently bought a house

FH and I closed in November and we filed for it when we did our taxes in February. We only had to bring one form (maybe the one you're talking about?) even though we brought like EVERYTHING lol from closing.

I got the money like 4 weeks later??? It was sooo exciting!!

Not sure if you have to wait to file for it next year...ask your accountant if you have one!

eta: Congrats on making the deadline!!!

I do know we can file it for this year - just have to amend my 2009 taxes...no biggie. Just can't find the form that that IRS says we needed as it isn't in my hgue packet of ppwk I got from the closing...hmmm

The paper (it was one sheet) that our accountant picked out from our bunch of shiat was actually given to us by our real estate agent before we actually closed. I remember because it wasn't with the folder of stuff we got at closing and she asked us to look at it before we went ahead and closed. I also think she gave us two copies?
