If you are getting a decent size refund other than the FTHC, you might want to e-file your return without claiming the credit. Then you can file an amended 1040X claiming the refund, and file it manually with your closing statement/HUD1/purchase contract. The IRS is estimating that it will take 12-16 weeks to process the FTHC. And, no one who purchased a house after Nov. 6 was able to file until last week, so, there is going to be a huge backlog of filings. I went to a seminar and the speaker told us that he had spoken with a friend of his at the IRS and she told him that it could take up to 4 or 5 months because of the backlog.

Thanks, might try that. When we bought the home we also bought some Energy Star appliances as well (fridge, etc...) Can you only claim certain appliances?

I would go this route. I bought a house at the end of May and filed an amended 2008 return in the first week of June. Didn't get my $8,000 until mid-November.
