ziggy,

yeah, that's what it sounds like.

but don't take my word for it.

that's just what i've been hearing.

to file before he signs anything and you can go back and amend later.

the 15000 one is going to be tricky...

and it's a little difficult to explain.

I wish I could see the exact bill a day or two before Obama signs it so I know whether or not to hurry up and do my taxes or wait.

forget that I think...
quote:


Both the Senate and the House versions of the new act remove the requirement that buyers repay the credit. The Senate bill applies retroactively to any purchase completed between January 1, 2009 and the end of August. The House version is also retroactive to the start of the year, and expires at the end of June. As long as buyers don't sell for at least 36 months, they keep the money.


the senate and the house are fricked up.

Refunds were held up a week this year because retarded people were confused on saying whether or not they got a stimulus last year. Imagine the cluster frick of this crap!

frick I'm confused.

So does this mean I can still claim the $7500 credit after Obama signs this new bill, since above it says end of June/August?

No, if its enacted, the old one is history. The June/August dates refer to the new credit.

But if this new bill supercedes everything else, why have a June/August 'timeline' if ends as soon as he signs something?

That makes no sense.

i'm not a CPA or anything, but the safe bet might be to file taxes now.

the 7500 one goes away and the 15000 one kicks in based upon the taxes you pay or don't pay.
